The deluxe pen plating kit is designed for precision precious metal plating of small
items such as jewellery and electrical contacts. It's great for adding that touch of gold to
rings or brooches and because the rectifier is fully variable you can reduce the voltage
if you want to gold plate fine points or increase the
voltage if you also want to rhodium or platinum plate jewellery. Simply set up the kit as
shown and once the surface of your work is prepared with our MPU, dip the nib of the
pen in the gold solution and start plating. All our plating pens are made by us at Spa
Plating and are light and easy to use, so small scale selective gold plating is very
straight forward. The pen plating clamp and tray performs three
functions at once; it holds your work steady while you're plating whilst maintaining electrical
contact and it also catches any drips of gold plating solution that can be reused.
The mini contact probe is ideal for making electrical contact with very small surfaces
such as the connecting pins on this photomultiplier. And of course the pen plating stand keeps
all your solutions safe and easily to hand. For a step-by-step guide to gold pen plating,
please see our Pen Plating Supplement at the back of our online plating manual which can
be found on our website.
