I can attest that Eric does amazing work with this stuff. He's done two batches of stuff for me and they both looked great.

All finished with Brian's (ilikecoinop) order. This was a good sized job, 24 pieces in all. Polished all trim pieces, cap and coin return bezels, refrigeration line covers, plated handels, bottle openers, bent coin levers, glass door handels, and main bezels. It was great practice and I enjoyed doing it, equally as well. Thanks again Brian...I'll be sending it out on Monday!

Sure looks nice Eric.
Did you plate those crank handles without having to remove the shafts and springs?

Next week will be like Xmas in April. Looking forward to showing off your work! Just got my order from SodaJerkWorks as well. This gets more addicting every day. After working with people like Eric and Sharon and all the input the people on this board share so freely its easy to see why people consider this more of a community than just a forum.

FYI...Just a note, if you plate your own pieces ( with a small home type plating system) you must remove any springs, as when they are electroplated with any type of metal, the process will cause something called hydrogen embrittlment, the electric current used to deposit the plating metal will also put hydrogen ions into the pores of the metal, which on spring steel & such will make it prone to cracking & breaking, the plating industry will heat treat such pieces in an oven to drive out the hydrogen & de-stress the metal object. and of course you must disassemble things like the crank handle, hinges, etc. or you will end up with the metal equivalent of a fossil ( it will all be fused together by the plating & wont rotate.) |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Home plating or tank plating...disimilar metals will plate at different amps and rates. Once the pieces have been copper plated, pot metal, steel, etc. then all will nickel and chrome plate the same, taking into account the size of the pieces of course. Everything must be taken apart and plated seperately.
