Additional information:

The 50ml of gold supplied with this kit is enough to allow for the gold to be brush plated. However, the kit can be expanded for tank plating in gold, all that is needed is an additional purchase of G.S.P 24K Tank Gold Solution (1 litre). The tanks and anodes required to do this are already included in this kit.
