Zinc electroplating - How to make your own kit

After trying to buy a zinc electroplating kit, and not being able to get the shipment from any shop, I decided to make my own kit, buying the different products and chemicals from different suppliers. I also tried to make my own yellow passivation/dichromate solution without using any Exhavalent Chrome.

Thanks for uploading! Very informative video. I have heard that TIN is an old world go-to for brightening nickel plate solutions, perhaps it is worth a test on zinc.

Great video. Thanks for making it. Would also like to see a video with only the correct formula. But it's good to see the mistakes to. Judging from what I see it looks like you have a solid electroplating on your items. Also I like the idea that you are trying with safer to use chemicals. I did electroplating years ago and it was an arsenic based solution which I bought from a company , nasty stuff. So I am also looking around at videos for safer products. Thanks again

Thank you so much! I will share a full correct process once I have a good brightener and pasivation formulas that I don't have yet. Hope you like it!

Thank you so much! It’s a great idea. I think I will research a bit more on the brightening and passivation steps and then share a full step by step guide. Thanks again for your support! 🥰 It encourages me to keep sharing more helpful content💪

QUAIS OS PRODUTOS DO BANHO ZINCO ACIDO?

[@The_fappening]

Use pva or macrogol as primary brightness enhancer, additionally vanillin

[@crdenardin]

search for two videos: DIY Bright Zinc Plating and DIY Bright Alkaline Zinc Electroplating. Here in Brazil I didn't find these or similar products, I would like to discover something alternative to replace the brightners used in these videos.

What is "chlorhydric acid"..?

[@markrainford1219]

Pretty sure it's Hydrochloric acid.

I have yet to test it myself, but it seems that Vanilin can be used as a brightener.
