Restoring Vintage Weber Air Horns and Re-Nickel Plating! 

Precise and thorough as usual Mike. You explanations of what you are doing is much appreciated! 👍

Outstanding!

Glad to hear from you again Mike!

Another beauty, Mike. Thanks for posting your work. You are an inspiration!

Hi Mike thank you for the video, they are like Christmas presents!

Thank-U THANK-U Thank-U FINALLY Someone has Explained what the Acid Prep Bath is & WHAT it is for??? I’ve spent hours perusing the net trying to find this information! Gold Plating Services sells it as a Plating “ACTIVATOR” & sells it for $40 a quart. I researched the ingredients & listed Sulphuric acid. So I purchased some M/C Battery acid filler & used that.($12) 📍Do you by chance know what the dilution ratio % if of your Acid dip?? 💯EXCELLENT VIDEO Sir!!! I’m only Nickel plating some Brass on much smaller [1.25 scale Auto Replica Machined parts] that I use for models. But process is the same. Excellent Video & Much Appreciated!! Lee PS: Almost forgot, you also helped me with using Cotton Gauze for covering the Nickel Anode!!! Another item I had endlessly researched until seeing it on your AWESOME VIDEO!!!!

That's something that I would like to try. If for nothing else than the science of it. Next project! Looks great, Mike. Those carbs are going to be so nice when their done.

As always Mike great job. Any time I want to see plating of something I check back here. Great information.

Hi Mike, hope you are keeping well. Awesome work on the horns Mike, well done. They look like new again! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

fantastic as always, caswell needs to link to your videos as they are the best at showing their products and proper plating technique.

Cant wait for more vids, keep up the great work!!

Awesome work as always Mike

I think for the pitting you might try copper first ! Apparently that’s the way to go to cover defects heavy copper plating then polish then nickel

Thanks Mike that was very informative and looks awesome

Amazing! Thanks Mike.

There is a creator that restores golf clubs and use electro plating to strip the nickel off the surfaces so as to prep the surfaces perfectly smooth then replates the club heads to a near perfect finish without all the buffing .

Another great and informative video, thanks for sharing!

Nice work mate 👌

Enjoy the cold beer

Nice job mike!

Have you thought of vapor honing for prepping for plating

Hey man....nickel plating is the scourge of the the jewellery industry...one of my least favourite tasks is to remove or repolish it. It is so hard! Quite a job to tackle....well done.

Great video keep it up😍

superb!!!!!!

Good job. Why not copper plate to fill in the pits before nickel plating?

Es un excelente trabajo!! De principio a fin no e visto algo igual . gracias por compartirlo

Mike, excellent work as always. So good to see someone who understands the law of diminishing returns and puts it into practice with prudent restraint. I am looking to do some plating for some pinball machine parts, but I hesitate because I don't know what to do as far as disposal is concerned. What do you do for disposal of spent solutions?

Your Mom is gonna be pissed when she finds her crock pot missing!

I am interested in re plating ice machine evaporator grids. Over the years the nickel plating has worn off and at the point the industry standard is to just replace the grid. The costs of the replacement grid is usually more than the machine is worth. This financially becomes the end of the machines life. Any suggestions on what voltage and amperage as to how long to soak the grid in the solution? It's about 24" x 18" Looks like the a bunch of squares like ice cubes would fit in? Any pointers would be great... Thanks :)

I am speechless whenever I see your videos Mike. What do you do with the bucket contents after use ?

Which Caswell kit did you purchase?
