4 Simple Steps To Brush Plate Your Small Parts
| 1. Plug In The Adapter |  |
| 2. Clip the Black Lead To The Part |  |
| 3. Soak The Wand With Bandage In the Solution |  |
| 4. Brush The Wand Over The Cleaned Part |  |
Plug N' Plate® is a new concept in plating small parts. Our unique mains power pack supplies just the right amount of power allowing you to brush, and in some situations, dip plate your smaller components.
The Plug N' Plate® system will also allow you to patch repair areas where the original plating has worn away.
Plug N' Plate® is ideal for vintage vehicle restorers, antique collectors and dealers, and small workshops doing prototype work.
What could be simpler? The Plug N' Plate® wand is attached to the red plug on the Power Pack, and the alligator clip is attached to the work-piece. The end of the wand is covered in an absorbent bandage, which is soaked in the plating solution for a few seconds.
By simply stroking the part with swift brush strokes, the circuit is closed and the plating metal bearing solution goes to work, depositing its beautiful layer onto the object.
Plug N' Plate® is perfect for gold plating car emblems. Simply strip the chrome off with Chrome Stripper, then apply the gold. Full instructions are included.
Plug N' Plate® may be applied onto most metals. To see which kit plates onto which metal, read our instruction booklet. To plate onto Stainless Steel, use the Plug N' Plate® Copper system. When gold plating onto stainless, apply our Stainless Steel Activator For Gold with a stainless wand and 4.5V power pack, then you may gold plate directly onto the stainless part.
Aluminum can be plated with the Acid Copper Plug N Plate system, after prepping your part with Zincate.
Plastic parts can also be plated with our Acid Copper Plug N Plate system after painting with conductive paint and swabbed with Tinning Solution.

Easy and pretty
Simple kit, easy to use. I hooked up the wires, soaked the swab, and plated on a nice thin sheet of brass. The instructions are really very good. Excellent product.

great kit
Great kit will buy from caswell again.
-
great for repairing brass
Loved this kit, it helped me and worked great.
-
Looks great at first, but tarnishes fast
The Brass Plating worked well, and coated pretty quickly. It looked great when it first went on, but it tarnished in a couple hours. May have to pick up the gold kit to get a brighter finish. CASWELL REPLY - Finish needs to be protected. Wax or lacquer.

Excellent Product
I was able to re-plate the brass after rubbing it off while cleaning the piece. I was really upset not knowing how thin the prior plating of brass was on the piece; nevertheless, I was able to fix the item with this fabulous kit.

Quite happy with the kit.
Found it easy to use and the plating worked great on my watch. My only complaint is the misfit between the red plug and the wand. If I had one, I would have put an all metal bannana jack in the end of the wand.
