hello in this video I want to show you how to plate this case gold plates an
allen key bold basically or Allen whatever you call them it's not a screws
bolt basically with an allen key on the top on the head use ultrasonic cleaner I
can't put them in there because they're too small they will slip through there
so I use a little beaker must be Class B cut a little bit of ultrasonic cleaner
in and then put it in there and switch it on did the thing is you need to use a
class because you can't use I'll put it in there for a few minutes
you can't use a plastic beaker because of vibration inside plastic beaker
doesn't work it needs to be closed because if you do it like this or if
they're big enough you put it straight in anyway without a Pico so I'll switch
the sound off here because the noise of the ultrasonic cleaner is really
annoying it's really high pitch basically noise
okay I'll leave it in there normally I left in five minutes for five minutes so
just to get all the grease and dirt all out of inside especially inside where
the allen key are you putting a link here it's the most important because
it's difficult to you know Layton there then I rinse it in hot water make sure
it's water's hot in Mike I use always hot water and then yeah rinse it a few
times so the bolts are small be careful if you don't use any this way I'll do it
up there then I use a tissue and try them as well and basically oh that's it
now I can clean a lofty road in a beaker
right this my little setup what I have on the left side on the two beakers is
deionized water in there on the right on the bottom here is you know activator
and cleaner one is activator one cleaner I've done a little bit of wire copper
wire thin copper wire with a little crocodile clip on the end so this is the
cleaning so I clean it again you don't need really to do this is why I'd put in
the ultrasonic cleaner but I do it just for a video I do it sometimes
depends so clean it you only need to put it in there this the little rectifier
what I use for this you can see it bubbling along rinse and then now put it
in the activator putting the activator now I would normally the first one you
must always wait but for the second and third or whatever how many you have
I would now plate when I plates one I put another one in the beaker of course
so don't wait and don't have to wait until it's done you know yeah I leave it
in there for you can see it bubbling along for about 30 seconds or depends
how long it takes me to plate to screw yeah basically well
yeah take it old after whatever it takes I first won I guess 30 seconds 45
seconds maybe it doesn't matter if you put it in a minute or two then I start
plating out I have a very low I think two point nine three balls I've got a
set which is very low this means up it plates very slowly but if you put it too
high normally I play with four and half five
five and a half wall if you put it to I tried earlier tri-fold and it was
because the item is so smart was burning basically and going dark very Spacey
and sometimes for you too high and have a very small items sometimes doesn't
even play so I did it before a few times so you need to be careful so I increase
the voltage lid with a finger turn it up to three and a half three
three and a half something like this which is okay in this case yeah so when
you're done with this you can seed it where the I mean key goes in yeah it is
difficult to play it in this area with a brush because the brush is not the swaps
are not really going in so it's like a little it is not plated in when it's not
played inside I'm put it back in the beaker showing us in a minute in the
little beaker here what a gold plating process basically yeah I'll show you
those in a second so I'll go over a few times but this is like will never be
touched so you only need to cover the cord wood called uses stainless steel
allen key ball was the freemen off so you can see it's not really plated
inside that was it's not hard percent played at the inside Alek earth most
people don't care really you may not see it anyway when it's fitted depends what
it is this for a bunch of you will see it so I put in this case
I'll put it in the little beaker here which is the plastic we carrier with the
Gauls and a used used to swap as an Arnold and then leave it in there for
like 10 seconds 15 seconds just to get inside you know where the allen key goes
in yeah now you can see it's plated inside it works wild like this yeah
chopped down basically pitching or insert and the whole thing is plated so
now I would have another item already in in the activator or in there you know
cleaner no in the activator so I chop this this pod and take the next one out
put the next one in you know so I don't need to wait until it's activated in
your little beaker anyway thanks for watching and click the bell thumbs up
all my details on here till next time thank you very much good bye
