nickel plating touch-up kits
« on: November 16, 2011, 06:40:19 AM »
Do any of you guys know who sells metal plating kits? I remember seeing them before that used a couple batteries and colloidal "salve" which was applied with a small brush, but don't remember where they came from.

 That's a better sticker price than the $1200 units I've been running in to. I'm having one of those brainstorms that might blow over. Thinking about copper plating lead bullets. Might be nice to be able to plate something with nickel too.

Ah, thought you might be looking to patch up an old gun or somewhat... ;)
