[Healeys] Electroless nickel plating

[Tracy Drummond]

Dick,

I too have used this extensively.  You must sandblast to utter cleanliness.
Remove ALL rust.  Coat with clear protectant after coating lest you get
surface rust.

Nuts and bolts that were not coated with clear showed surface rust.  For
polished parts it takes a long time but the results are pretty darn good.

Brought out the mad scientist in me.

Warm Regards,
 
Tracy Drummond

Dick,

I've been using Caswell's Copy Cad for many years and it's an excellent home
plating kit... HOWEVER, it takes some skill, practice, and patience to get
the results you want.  Follow the directions as written, take your time, and
be meticulously clean and you should get professional results.

Cheers,

Curt
