the finish you go is down to the prep before hand. harpic alone with the acid isnt enough. they need a wire wheel at the very least before. after that pop it all in an ultrasonic tank to clean.... then start the plating process. youll find it all goes much better
I used old kitchen oven in garage I wouldn't use your kitchen one that passivate can be quite harmful to your health so be careful bud make sure your wearing mask & gloves maybe use tinfoil box / heat gun to cure it just keep a eye on the temp though
@@RetroYamaha Yes, there are a few 'dodgy' chemicals used there isn't there. I will give that a go, as I am always interested in what other people do to get their results. Thanks.
