(1/2) > >>

Powder Keg:
Have any of you done it? I'm thinking of one of Caswells kits. They look fairly straight forward. I'll be posting my results here:o)

It has been awhile, but I will say this its all in the prep as to cleanliness. Also if you have a jewelry supply house in your area check them out as most carry a line of plating supplies.
http://grobetusa.com/ see if they have a franchise's close to you. or one of them on the web.
https://www.micromark.com/ also has small scale kits.
 ;D

I've got one of Caswells powder coating kits. I think anything they sell is quality stuff. I've seen some people that have used there anodizing kits with great results and they're located close to me.  :D

I suspect I will be trying some of the plating soon myself.

Nickel plating involves some nasty stuff.  We do it here where I work.  Anodizing, yeah, you take precautions with the acids, etc.  But this is a whole 'nuther level of health issues.  I would not recommend it for home/hobby use.
