Hi guys, so we're going to show you, using the Universal Dip Plating Accessory Kit
attached to the Universal Plater and we're going to plate three pendants here.
Let's just get right into it. It comes with the wire here and what we've done,
is we've just fashioned a little S shaped hanger here, for that pendant.
Looped it right through there and Terry's going to go right ahead and plate this.
We're set at 7 volts, we've got everything set up and ready to go and
he's going to go into the Electro Cleaner. You'll see gassing, this is good.
You're going to see a voltage drop. This is perfectly normal, just leave it how it
is. 7 volts was the initial voltage. Looks good, now I'm going to go into the rinse
associated with that solution. Now we're going to go into the Surface Activator
solution. This one bubbles but it doesn't get that foam on the top and this is
just a pink solution originally but it changes color, that's fine. So we've
activated it now we're going to change the voltage. We're going to turn it down
to 3.5, prior to going into the gold solution. Now once he goes into the gold
solution, it's going to drop down about a volt. That's good. 2.4 to 2.6 is a good
plating voltage for our 24k Bright Gold solution and this is our professional
grade solution. This is eight ounces of it and this item here is about as big as
you want to go with this particular accessory. We're really excited about
this new accessory here. It allows people to do dip plating with their Universal
Plater, makes it even more universal than it previously was. So we're
super excited about this little kit we've put together. Turns out great for
doing little items like this. If you need to do bigger items, you got to do mass
amounts, you're going to need to go to the Jewel Master which is an amazing kit,
as well. Now he's probably only going to be putting on, I don't know, a quarter of
a micron, give or take a little bit, I don't know but it already looks great
and this is actually a good typical quote, typical decorative thickness. You
know and this looks amazing just in that short time. If you wanted a
thicker gold plate, you go longer. You could keep it in there for ten minutes
if you want to. For the purposes of this video we've gone with a little bit
thinner plate. Once it turns gold as you can see it's, it uh, it looks about the
same to any thickness so you just are more putting on a thicker layer for
additional minutes after this point. We're going to do these three pendants
just show you how quickly, you know, you can just move through. Electroplating
actually is pretty quick when you have the right setup. These kits we've put
together make it all quick and easy.
I'm just jacked about this new when it's so simple and awesome.
Change the voltage again. Don't forget to turn that voltage down. If you put it
in at 7 volts you're going to burn your gold real quick.
If that does happen it's not the end of the world, you can you know, you can go
back. Mix up some baking soda and water into a paste, polish it, do what you
got to do to remove that burned layer. As long as it's not a super bad burn, it
should come off fairly quickly with some baking soda and water paste.
But it's best just to not burn it in the first place. Let me see that. Oh, that looks really good.
These are just some little pendants we picked up at a gem fair. Plated up
really nice. I mean look we are only four minutes, five minutes into this video and
we've already got two done.
Now if you touch the anode with your part, it will kind of short out. The kit will
derp out, will reboot. Actually Terry's going to do it. I'll touch it. You'll see
everything shuts off for a couple of seconds.
It's a short-circuit protection and it goes back. You want to avoid it but it's
not the end of the world if you do touch the anode. We really tried to cover all
the bases for you on these kits and make something that works really great
and we happen to love it.
Now this little accessory package here, the dip package, it comes with an 8 ounce
bottle of our Bright Gold, a 16 or 500 milliliter Surface Activator, and a 500
milliliter Electro Cleaner. It comes with this tray. It comes with the six beakers:
three rinse and three solution beakers. And these easy anodes that just plug
right in. Holds it nice and tight against the kit. When you're done, you can easily
just pull the anodes out, rinse them off and put it all away.
It's very self-contained. This add-on package is $199 for everything. I
believe, is that right Terry? Yep, $199 and it includes the gold. I mean that's a killer
deal. $199 for.. to make it so your Universal can do dip plating. I love
it. Look at that. Okay, well there's our three items plated in seven minutes and
now we're just going to put it away and that is the Universal Plater Accessory
Dip Kit. Alright, have a good day everyone! Thanks for watching!
