Hey guys this is Lewis with Gold Plating Services. Today we're messing with Rob's
9-millimeter he's going to be doing a little detailing along the top and the
sides with our Pen Gold solution. It's got if you've never used it before
we got a very we got a different tip on this. It's kind of a you don't need a bit
or an anode it's this kind of hard really easy fine point so what we're
going to do is we're going to electro clean, surface activate and then go
straight into the Pen Gold. Rob's going to start here just kind of show you how
it's done and we'll see where this video leads. Alright thanks Lewis, so what I'm
gonna do I've got it clipped here on the back and I'm gonna just kind of angle it
forward so the solution goes runs down the front then we'll electro clean up quite a
bit. Since this is fresh nickel we don't need to do very much if this were a
stainless steel item you'd want to do it a lot more than that. Now I'm gonna
activate and you can actually electro clean and activate with the
little pen tips as well and there are a lot like a sharpie marker tip this is
the medium fine tip that we're gonna be using. We also have an ultra-fine tip
which is more like an ultra fine marker tip it's it's really about like a Bic
pen. So we're just gonna go add-on to the little bit I had already started when we
decided to film it you can get really fine detail with these pen tips if
you're artistic and patient a lot of people do it into engraving on gun parts
so they'll only do the engraved parts same with on car parts.
You could technically mask off the sides and some people do that masking is
really time-consuming because you usually have to do multiple layers they
usually have to cure or harden overnight and so it can take a couple of days
so these pen tips really make little projects like this a lot easier than
having to sit there and mask everything. I'm gonna try and get a little bit
bigger puddle in there that I can just kind of carry back and forth. Gotta love it
when a phone rings or dings. Yeah. And you could probably with this area if you
were careful with how wide this is you probably could use the little 8 inch
cotton sleeve that like our Goldsmith kit comes with, but this isn't taking
that long really I mean it's only been a couple of minutes and I already got this
top part pretty well done. I think it's going to look pretty cool.
So this pen gold you may wonder why it's so expensive for such a little bottle
it's because in order for it to go on this fast with the such a fine tip it's
actually four times as concentrated as our regular brush gold, so one fluid
ounce of pen gold has the same as a four ounce jar of the 24k brush gold.
Originally we sold these mostly to people in the printed circuit board
industry where they have to do this like little fingers on the inside of computer
parts but it has become recently very popular in the show car industry doing
the engraved areas on cars. I'm almost done I'll show you guys what it looks
like after I rinse it off
Alright let's check it out
and I'm gonna go and actually after we're done filming all I'm gonna do the
sides down here and stuff like that so it'll be yeah pretty cool-looking cheap
gun slide. So hopefully you guys can see that pretty good nice gold contrast
and then when you look down the sights you'll see a gold and there between the
ridge. Anyway, alright guys thanks for watching and comment down below tell us
what kind of videos you'd like to see, any questions that you have and most of
all go to our website and check out these kits if you don't already have one
the Universal Plater is a really awesome versatile kit that can do lots
