Instruction manual

Overview of use:

Full detailed instructions are supplied with this kit.

Pen Plating

Here is a brief overview of the pen plating process:

Step 1: Clean / polish the item to be plated.

Step 2: If the item is chrome plated, strip the chrome with G.S.P Chrome Stripper (available separately) which takes between 1-15 minutes, and then rinse. If the item is nickel or stainless steel, brush over with the appropriate activator for a few seconds and then rinse.

Step 3: Pen plate the gold or silver, building up thickness as you go. Do this for between 2-20 minutes depending on the size of the item and then rinse / dry.

Step 4: Rub G.S.P Gold Polish over the item and then wipe off to bring out the final shine.

Please note: You do not always apply precious metals directly over the original substrate, it depends on what that metal is.

Examples include - copper would need to be plated with G.S.P Nickel Plating Solution first, this would be followed by using G.S.P Nickel Activator, then the piece could be gold or silver plated.

Brass would be plated with G.S.P Copper Strike, then with G.S.P Nickel Plating Solution, followed by G.S.P Nickel Activator and the piece could then be gold or silver plated.

Please note:

Pen plating is an effective technique for repairing small patches of worn plating on jewellery items. However, it is generally not suitable for plating entire pieces of jewellery due to its limited coverage and precision-based application. For plating complete jewellery pieces, alternative methods should be considered. Brush plating, mini tanking, and full tank plating are all suitable options.
