[user54508]

Hey guys I'm in the process of building 1 Minarelli's, Sthil 460 saw and one 122cc rotary turbo build at the moment. Each build is going to be polished to a shine! If not plated to shine! So I'm doing chains today for 2 of the builds and I figured I share the video! Super easy project and I suggest that you try it if you like it! Very easy and cheap and fun to do! Anyhow stay safe and try new things and have fun with your build projects!

BTW super quick real time video of plating in action! Many that watched chain video on Facebook and such asked how hard it was! Very easy real time video of plating a penny!

Very nice!

so you're just using 3 volts DC?

What kind of material is the flat bar you have the positive terminal connected too?

The + is a Piece of Nickel! Yes 2-4v is the ideal voltage when plating Nickel!

Could you use nickles to do this I wonder?

No not pure nickel. There all nickel coated slugs. Very cheap nickel plating bars. 5$ Amazon or you can use nickel battery pack connection wire. The more pure nickel rod you use the better plating will come out
. Your nickel acetate you make or buy will be wrecked fast if you used alloy metals
