first plating at 3v DC in the new solution #diy#maker#electroplating#BikeTrailer

looking down into a glass jar filled with green fluid in which hangs a wire holding two washers. a nickel bundle hangs in the fluid from the jar’s rim. both are connected to wires via alligator clips and the washers are bubbling

three minutes per side, no sanding really - this is just about water resistance. i sanded a little after this (600 grit wet) and am going for two more minutes per side at 3.5 volts #diy#maker#BikeTrailer#electroplating

two silverish washers and a reference black circle on a countertop. the upper plated washer looks shinier but that’s mostly texture of top side of a stamped style washer
