Set of 2 high-quality PDO Copper anodes with anode bags and accessories. Also includes 1 litre sized plastic tank.
When the included components are all used together, the resulting set-up allows you to generate a mirror shine from a flat, matt finish without any polishing. This is essential for electroforming and useful in general copper plating. You can also use the set to improve the finish on existing metal surfaces as seen in photograph number 2, where a tarnished copper item was plated for 5 minutes in our copper solution using these anodes (tarnishing is visible at the top of the item, mirror-shiny result using our copper solution and anodes is seen at the bottom of the item).
The 2 specially engineered anode bags included in this set are to be used in conjunction with your PDO Copper Anodes. During the plating process, microscopic, insoluble copper flakes naturally break off from the anodes. Without protection, these loose particles float freely in your solution, causing your final plating to look rough, gritty, or blistered. Our bags feature a precise micron weave that traps all micro-debris while maintaining perfect liquid transfer.
Phosphorized Deoxidized (PDO) grade copper anodes are ESSENTIAL for good results when copper plating; other grades of copper will produce poor results.
This anode set consists of:
- 2 x PDO Flat Copper Tank Anodes
- 2 x High-quality anode bags
- 1 x 1-litre plating tank
- 1 x Set of red / black plating leads (complete with crocodile clips)
- 1 x Additional red plating lead for connecting the 2 anodes
Please note: You must have a suitable plating machine to use alongside this set.
This copper anode set is designed for seamless use with our G.S.P Recruit BR1 and BR1 Deluxe Kits. It is also optimzed to perfectly compliment:
- G.S.P Copper Strike Solution
- G.S.P Hobby Series Copper Strike Solution
- G.S.P Electroforming Copper Plating Solution
(Plating solutions are not included).
