Nice good to see the plating kits in action I'll get one one day

Hey Gav, this is a home brew kit

I had the power supply already but the rest cost about $30 - $40 I also bought gloves for using the Acid which you use to clean it with prior to electroplating

Bucket - Bunnings
Copper Wire (stripped it out of some scrap inner wall power cable)
Thin copper wire for hooks
Hydroclauric Acid - Bunnings
6 litres White Vinegar - Aldi (cheap)
1 kg Epsom salts
1 kg white sugar
Zinc Anodes - (free from local electroplating place)

If anyone is interested I can post the process, the results are fantastic once polished. I will post some pics tomorrow.

Brettski... :)
Project is looking great mate. Would definitely be interested in more info on your home brew plating!
