£6.49
(Excl. tax)
SKU:
SWA-BUN
A large 1 metre x 1.5 metre bundle of swabbing for use on brush plating probes. It is important to use the right type of material to form brush plating swabs, some materials can shed small fibres into your plating solutions which will affect their chemical performance. Additionally, certain materials can cause small scratches on the surface of the part you are plating, so it is is important to choose a material with no abrasive qualities.
This sheet of swabbing is the ideal choice for brush plating with ease, it is soft enough to ensure no damage to the part you are plating, and will not cause contamination to your chemicals through fibre shedding. It can be cut easily to form many individual swabs.
Use with our G.S.P Brush Plating Probes for great results.
* G.S.P Brush Plating Probe not included
Overview of use
Instructions for use:
Below is a step by step guide for cutting a swab from your bundle and applying to your probe.
Step 1. Cut a strip approximately 7 inches long / 1.5 inches wide.
Step 2. Cut a tapered end.
Step 3. Hold the wide end against the bare end of your probe.
Step 4. Using your thumb to hold the swabbing tightly against the probe, rotate the probe in your hand so that the swabbing wraps around it. Ensure that the first full wraparound is nice and tight but then ease up and roll the remaining swabbing around the probe until you reach the tapered end.
Step 5. Continue wrapping the tapered end around the probe tightly. Press firmly into the surrounding swabbing to hold it in place.

Additional information:
Swabbing holds solution in place whilst you brush over an item, passing on the current at the same time. Swabbing turns yellow momentarily during chrome stripping process; this does not indicate damage but demonstrates that the swabbing is working well. Use the yellowing of your swabbing as an indication of when to stop chrome stripping (when there is no more chrome, the swabbing will cease turning yellow).
Please note: Plating Probes shown in the product photo are not included but are available separately.
