So who here with the larger tanks put 30 amps or so to their parts?
I just started ramping up production and I have a full rack of parts. From top to bottom I get color differences.
I have an idea on what it could be due to. That idea is because I have so many amps my solution isn’t being mixed quick enough.
Has anybody else came across this problem?

Hey guys, was just looking at my stripper. It still strips, but it looks pretty dirty. Dark Red colour, **** floats on the top when I strip stuff, the eventually sinks to the bottom after.
When do you guys usually change the stripper?
Until it stops stripping, certain time period, certain look, etc.

Hello,
I would like to know your opinion and suggestions about brass plating wheel spokes and nipples. I’ve read most if not all of the posts related to brass plating found on this forum. I still have few questions.
I have the original set of spokes made from steel and plated (not sure with what) that I can strip mechanically to clean steel and polish them to high gloss or I can get new set that is "bright cadmium plated". Which option is better to start of with?
Do I need to use pickle to clean or can I just follow one of the methods of cleaning with degreaser followed by soapy water, do the water test.
Should I get plug n play kit or standard kit? I need plating to be able to stand road use and occasional hand polishing.
Do I plate nickel first before brass? This information is kind of confusing. Pick a kit tells me that I need to nickel first but product page for both plug n play and standard kit says that will plate directly onto steel.
Thank you for your time
Arthur

Ok guys,
I have a set of mercedes wheels that I have polished and will be clear coating. The wheels look great but have tiny micro scratches all over the face of them. I know if I clear coat over this the scratches will be even more visible. I finished the wheel off with white compound and a loose wheel on my caswell flex shaft. What do I need to do for these scratches. I really need to get a scratch/haze free finish but dont know where to go with it !! these micro scratches are from the wheels these are NOT sanding scratches. Also, since I have to change directions so much using the flex shaft, I get tons of haze does anyone got a suggestion for this?
Thanks,
John
Here are the wheels

I searched but didnt see anything. I finally have my polishing stuff set up and have done a few pieces so I am ready to start working on some stuff for other people. Honestly I do it for fun, but if I can make some money, great. Do ya’ll have a price list you wouldn’t mind sharing so I can get an idea of what some other folks are charging. I am not planning to advertise here so, there shouldn’t be any issue with taking business, only going to do stuff here locally for some friends.
Thanks
Brad

I am making a knife (assembling) for my father in laws birthday next month. I have in the past, about 10 years ago made one, and used a friends stuff to polish the wood after the final shape sanding.
Ordered the blade "kit" last night *Boot Skinner – w/Bolsters/Pins
Wood
Birdseye Maple – Scales – Natural – (5 x 1.5 x 1/4)
And Mosaic pins
Mosaic Pins : 7/32 inch
The pin material is just a hair bigger than the tang holes in the blade kit so I will have to adjust that but otherwise it should go together rather easily.
I have to figure out my wood polishing now. I think have all I need but going to do some more research to see if the Tripoli, and rouge I have will work on wood.
Update as soon as the stuff arrives. Do you guys think it will work using standard red, and white rouge?

Hello Folks…
I am a jewelry manufacturing consultant in the Far East. I have come across a factory here in China that has a severe discoloration problem on their 14K vermeil plating items. It is a very dark and vibrant mix of color of purple and deep blue. It is sporatic across the items. I have read about Purple of Cassius on gold plating of circuit boards and am wondering if this could be the problem. I also read that a possible cause is tin chloride and/or stannic acid….possibly contaminating the gold bath from maybe bad Chinese solder on some of the items. Does anyone have any knowledge on this condition of discolor? I will have pictures of the affected items by tomorrow.

We powdercoat various steel plates and other objects and are looking for a filler that can be used to fill scratches and gouges up to maybe 1/8th deep (most much less) before we apply our
coating.
What are some of the options out there?
Thank you all in advance

I have a number of unique gear-clamps (radiator hose clamps) that have a
"hinged" pot-metal head on the steel strap. (British "TEX Grip-Tite" brand).
The Pot-Metal Heads have a steel "screw gear" in them.
These gear-clamps need replating (original plate was Cad which I’d like to
replicate), but I’ve heard that the Zinc
Plating Bath will dissolve or otherwise
damage the pot-metal.
Any suggestions, recommendations on how-to go about
plating these pieces?

First off, I’d like to thank everyone here for the wealth of information that I have picked up on. I am a hobbyist but want professional results. That’s why I am glad I found this site. There are professionals and weekend warriors here and I love seeing everyone’s projects. If I (and I will) screw something up, I will post it too. Better that than someone else waste a couple of hours doing the same thing I did.
Most of my “polishing” projects have been on chrome. Really tough work. Wipe on, wipe off. LOL. I have moved to some aluminum parts and found this site a long time ago after I polished a set of foot pegs.
Now I am restoring a buddies ‘81 Sportster. It’s my first big project. The bike has been rode hard and put up wet a number of times. The side covers and engine are pretty bad. I did use a power ball and some Mother’s just to clean off the oxidation. I knew going in I was wasting my time but I ordered the Aluminum & Copper Alloy Polishing Kit, so I had some time to kill. With any luck I should start tearing the bike apart and start polishing by this weekend.
Here is an after picture I polished the front cover for about 10-15 minutes. I did the emblem by hand. It is chrome so I want to make the cover match it. My Blackberry takes horrible pictures. I was too lazy to grab the good camera.
Sorry about the lengthy post. I’ll update this thread as I go. Be warned though, I move at the speed of a herd of turtles. Too many hobbies and not enough money.
Ken
