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.

Nice for figuring out how plating works for your first time.
I bought this kit back in 2006 to help me understand first hand how electroplating works. I must admit, its nowhere near what I find useful now....BUT, it was a great way to "Start me out". I am a custom jeweler and plate at least 30 or more large jewelry sets a week in a 10 gallon tank. So, I guess I have grown up from the Plug N' Plate system. Would recommend for a first timer for sure!

Plug N' Plate nickel kit
I used this kit to touch up the plating on my pocket watch. I followed the instructions and the plating worked out just fine. I did order the small points first to do the fine work and it worked as described. This is a great to for my shop.
