cougaree Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I want to gold plate some of my watch parts (mainly screws and bezels). I have heard about liquid gold plating. Has anyone used it before? Does it work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Are you talking brush plating here? http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/fastgold.htm If so, I tried this with limited success. The issue is in identifying what metal you are plating! (Same applies to dip plating) I recently sold my kit, as i was unhappy with the results.

cougaree Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm looking at something like this one. http://crafts-sewing.hsn.com/liquid-gold-plating-system_p-5414642_xp.aspx The metals I need to be gold plated are stainless steel. Will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ummm, The bottom line of the advert says- Note: This item will not work on stainless steel, lead, pewter or lacquered metal or nonmetallics. I guess the answer is No! O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Some metals need to have to be copper plated before other plating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
