  Since you&apos;ve found where I keep my gardening gloves, it might be a good time to advise I borrowed a couple of hammers from your shed 🤣🤣

  I was reading comments from a guy who worked at an electroplating shop, he said they would put a sock over the positive nickel anode rod to keep the black crud you see from getting into the new finish, it doesn&apos;t impede the chemical transfer but traps the impurities

  I finally bought a 30v bench top power supply, <br>Amazing how you can use it on everything, You can short the leads to set your amps without the fear of killing it, Testing parts, running equipment, building circuits, Electroplating! YOU need one!

  You could put a 12V light bulb in series with the electrode , which will work as a current limiter . Also pre soaking the target metal in citric acid solution will eradicate any rust .

  Thank you so much. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been attempting to nickle plate a 100yo hand wood plane. &nbsp;Your voltage tips make more sense than any of the other 20 videos I&apos;ve watched. &nbsp;I&apos;m soldering up new chargers as we speak.

  Very interesting video. I hope to do some myself. &nbsp;My son is a ham radio operator and always needs bolts, washers, and nut that don&apos;t rust. He usually buys stainless fasteners, but this proccess would work just as well and it would give me something to do now that I am retired. Thank you for sharing.
