Newbie zinc plater with a power supply question
Posted by admin on August 7th, 2010 at 02:21pm
Aloha everyone. Just wanted to finally introduce myself and jump into the discussions. I have been wanting to do zinc plating on automotive restoration parts for some time now and recently purchased a 4.5 g Copy Cad and Zinc Plating Kit. I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading for a long time but I still have a lot of questions on my mind. I hope I can get some of them answered here. I still don’t have a power supply yet so that’s my next investment. I have been looking at some of the power supplies here but I also have a lead on a Grobet USA ProCraft 25 amp rectifier – “Precision built in the USA, continuous duty, solid state. Works by means of the powerstat control to produce desired voltage. All units have pilot lights and both DC ampmeter and voltmeter for measuring current under load.” I was wondering if this would be a good choice for zinc plating. Right now the largest parts I plan to plate are brake rotors and calipers. If anybody has an opinion/advice/experience with this or any other power supply I’d appreciate it.
