We will never recommend unnecessary products or processes, so if our recommendations differ from something else that you've read or watched, there will always be a good reason. It might be that we've recommended an additional step to improve plating longevity, it may be that we've cautioned against the use of a certain product because it could introduce complications to the process, it could simply be that we advocate a slightly different procedure as in our experience, it is easier or offers better results.

We will always be happy to explain the reasons to you in detail - please just reach out and ask. There is no such thing as a silly question.
Most often, conflicting advice relates to surface preparation of metals. Different surfaces require different types of preparation in order to plate successfully. Many surfaces cannot be plated onto directly. Prep is usually very straightforward and does not add much time to the overall process of plating but is vital for good results.
When we sell you an electroplating kit, it will come with the correct prep solutions for the surfaces it is designed to plate over. You'll also get step by step instructions, and training is included with larger kits or more involved processes.
Complications arise mainly when customers purchase individual chemicals from us without a clear understanding of the process they need to follow.
We often hear from people that have followed a process from a YouTube video which hasn't worked for them. YouTube is often amazing and has a lot of informative videos, but as with any topic, there is also a lot of misinformation. There are a lot of videos on plating where sufficient surface prep has been skipped or overlooked and unforunately, this doesn't educate the viewer on correct plating processes.
To give an example, plating over silver jewellery requires (amongst other prep) laying down a palladium barrier layer before applying the top coat. This is because gold or other metals used as a top coat will sink down (migrate) into silver shortly after plating, bringing discolouration in the plated finish. However, is perfectly possible because migration isn't immediate, to make a video where this prep has not been done and produce a lovely, shiny, gold plated item at the end which looks fantastic. However, in the coming days the plating is going to deteriorate, and if the item has been sold, will result in a complaint for a jeweller.

To give another example, it is possible to make a video in very little time showing plating a copper item in gold. Gold can be applied straight onto the copper and it will look great. However, this would be very poor advice because copper needs to go through several prep stages in order for the plating to last. Copper is hugely prone to oxidisation and this needs to be dealt with in order for a lasting result. Shortcuts and 'hacks' are rarely useful when a process relies on specific chemistry to work successfully.
On another note, regarding safety, as we are not looking to appeal to an audience attempting to plate with homemade chemicals or products not intended for electroplating, our recommendations will almost certainly differ to the advice given in videos/articles geared towards this. These practices are inconsistent and potentially dangerous with poor quality outcomes.
We want you to be successful and have a wealth of information on various plating processes on our website. We are always happy to help and answer your questions both before and after purchase. We also have a YouTube channel of our own where we are building a growing collection of videos for different processes. Please reach out if you are unsure, we will offer transparent advice that ensures you'll be plating with confidence in no time at all.
Description of the article: Tifoo Zinc plating solution the product features at a glance: ml of zinc electrolyte ideal for tank- and pen plating perfectly suited for corrosion- and rust protection for application on iron easy to use and free from cyanide The allrounder for protecting iron and steel from corrosion. For vehicles as well as for outdoor applications in your house and garden: The galvanic zinc plating with the Tifoo Zinc electrolyte allows a permanent protection from rust holes, rusty spots and bodywork destruction, e.g. for vintage cars (vintage car restoring). If you have had enough of the paint peeling of because of pitting corrosion, you'll now have the solution to your problem: The galvanic zinc layer protects workpieces made of iron and steel efficiently from rust and gives them a visually appealing surface thanks to its bright colour. When realized with pen plating, this method is also called e-zink and has the advantage that the objects to be plated don't even have to be removed. The Tifoo Zinc electrolyte is perfectly suited for tank- as well as for pen plating. With the weakly acidic, cyanide-free zinc electrolyte, you'll be able to easily galvanize by yourself! recommended current density: 2.5 amperes / dm² (tank plating) needed voltage: about 1-3 volts for tank plating, 1-5 Volt for pen plating Just use our zinc electrolyte with a zinc anode and you can already galvanize by yourself without any problems. Our zinc electrolyte allows you to: repair rust holes on your car by yourself galvanize sheet metals restore vintage cars galvanize screws restore rusted spots and protect them permanently (Spot-Repair) restore modelling components and protect them from corrosion partially repairing rusty spots on railings, stairs and other components (without the need of removing components) Please read our product instructions for selfmade galvanizing and follow their indications. You'll find suitable electroplating equipments and corresponding accessories in our Tifoo Online offer.Shipping notes: As this item is classified as "hazardous" by REACH / GHS, international shipment is subject to special regulations of the carrier.
