Over the past ten years, we have developed a really good system of plating for the sma ller workshop! We have
become a leader in this field because our kits are a practical size to plate small parts on vehicles. They come
complete, and have a superb operating manual. We have avoided 'chemistry jargon' like the plague, and the kits
come with the ingredients pre-weighed, all you have to do is add distilled water! They all work using 6 or 12
volt batteries or rectifiers and assemble easily using a few items usually found in any workshop.
Since 1990, we have sold thousands of kits to the ordinary hobbyist, car & motor cycle restorers, antique
phonograph & telephone restorers, prototype workshops, schools, gun repair shops and model toy
collectors/restorers. These kits range from a Brush Plating kit that is ideal for a hand gun, to a Triple Chrome
kit for plating car & bike parts, to a Workshop kit for the serious restorer, or for starting a small plating
business. We can even customize a kit for you; just let us know what you are trying to do!
You will be able to plate as well as, if not better than, a commercial plater because we basically use the same
procedures and chemicals (except cyanide). Our customers are usually willing to take a little more time on the
preparation, like careful buffing to avoid removing detail, and inspection of the part to ensure all corrosion is
removed, so they end up with a better job. There is also a distinct advantage in plating one or two items in a
small tank. You get better, more even coverage and the parts aren’t lost or dissolved! Imagine that precious
piece in a 500 gal tank swirling around with thousands of others -- will you ever see it again?
The actual cost of doing your own plating is minuscule compared to commercial plater's costs and most
customers tell us they get their investment back after plating only 5 or 6 items!
Most of our chemicals are not regulated by the DOT as hazardous and most of them last for years, so you do
NOT have a disposal problem. If you decide to stop plating, most transfer stations will take these minimal
amounts free of charge.
Over the years, we've added lots of new products to our lineup. Most recently, we added our electroless nickel
kit, which plates an even nickel finish without any power source or electrical connections, and our Copy
Chrome kit, which duplicates a chrome plate without using any dangerous chemicals.
We also offer free technical advice. You can phone Tuesday through Friday from 9am to 4.30pm to get
answers to a problem.
If you are on the net, make sure to watch our website at
http://www.caswellplating.com. We post all our new ideas and products there first and will soon have an
interactive support section that lets you troubleshoot problems online. If you need any further information,
please give us a call. We would be happy to help you decide which kit is right for you.

Acid Nickel type system: 5 -7% phosphorus
Electroless nickel plating requires no anodes, power supply or electrical connection of any kind. The process simply entails
mixing together some solutions, heating them to just off the boil, and then immersing the part to be plated. An auto catalytic
electrochemical reaction takes place and the nickel is evenly deposited all over the part being plated. The thickness of the plate
will depend on the duration of immersion. To stop the reaction, remove the part from the solution.
Like all plating, the brightness of the plate depends on the brightness of the part before plating. The brighter the shine initially,
the brighter the shine after plating. Numerous variations of the final finish are achieved by changing the surface preparation.
Electroless nickel plating is not new; it has many applications in industry. Because the system plates evenly over all areas of the part, even down tubes and holes, it is frequently used to plate
firearms and small hand tools. For the motorcycle restoration enthusiast, electroless nickel is a great tool for evenly plating the air cooling fins on many engine blocks, particularly older Indians
& Harleys.
Electroless nickel plates at an approx. rate of 1 mil (1/1000") per hour. Indoor decorative applications will need approx. 0.25 mil or 15 min. of plating. General outdoor items (hand tools, hand
guns) should receive 0.5mils or 30min. Items requiring high corrosion resistance should receive 1mils or 60 min. Our 1 liter kit will plate approx. 75 sq. in. of surface area with a bright nickel
@ 1 mil, or 300 sq. in. @ 0.25 mil. The 4 liter kit will plate approx. 720 sq. in or 2880 sq. in. @ 0.25 mil. Our 12½ liter kit will plate approx. 1500 sq. in. or 6000 sq. in. @ 0.25 mil. As the
baths are used, nickel depletes from the solution. You will need to replenish this periodically, using our unique method of calculating the nickel loss. Additions to the solution may be made
with small quantities of Part A & Part C.

Electroless Krome operates in exactly the same manner as our Electroless Nickel kits. Electroless Krome is an alloy of nickel and cobalt. The cobalt gives the nickel plate it blue tint, and
imparts more hardness to the surface. Applied to a previously polished surface and then buffed lightly, the finish will match most commercial chrome plated pieces.

ELECTROLESS POT METAL TREATMENT KIT
The major problem with Pot Metal (Zinc Die Casting) is that it corrodes -badly! Its use is widespread in the automotive and
motorcycle industry, mainly because it is easy to cast into intricate parts. Unfortunately, the metal is easily subjected to
corrosion, particularly by mild acid attack. The zinc readily degenerates in the presence of even a mild acid such as tomato
ketchup.
Pot Metal will polish up and look very good, for about 2-3 days, then it rapidly dulls down to a leaden look. This can be
most unattractive on vehicles with lots of shiny aluminum or chrome. By polishing the part, then immediately plating it
with Pot Metal Electroless Nickel, the metal can be given a long term, bright, shiny surface, closely matching the other
components on the vehicle.
Parts made of Pot Metal and treated with Pot Metal TREATMENT may be plated with any of the following CASWELL
Plating Systems:- Electroless Nickel, Electroless Krome, Regular Nickel (usin g power and anodes), Copy Chrome, Copper.
The Pot Metal TREATMENT system also provides a thin layer of nickel all over the surface, to prevent the acidic action of
nickel, copper & Electroless Nickel & Krome baths, from attacking the pot metal. Repairs can be carried out before this
process, if soldering, or afterwards if copper plating.
It is important that you ensure all areas of the part are extremely clean, especially any pitted areas. These should be closely
examined for any black deposits, and they should be removed by drilling, bead blasting etc. In the event that the part will
require some repair, this may be carried out with Solder pastes, or by heavily copper plating, then sanding smooth.

NICKEL PLATING
Bright Nickel Kit
Our nickel plating kits are designed to provide a commercial quality finish on a miniature scale, in approx. 20
minutes. The finish can be applied as a final treatment, requiring VERY LITTLE buffing to obtain a high shine,
or as a base for chrome plating. If left flat, it is almost indistinguishable from cadmium plate.
Nickel plate has a very slight ‘yellow’ cast to it, but in many applications, if polished, it can double as a chrome
plate.
Our formulas are from 'The Old School' as are many of our plating techniques, thus enabling you to rePROD #
uce a plate almost identical to the original specifications of long ago. All our chemicals are pre-weighed, so all
you have to do is to add distilled water. We have tried to keep the processes as simple as possible and have standardized everything wherever we can.
This Nickel Kit will plate a heavier onto most metals except pot metal, and it should be used wherever possible, especially under a chrome plate. This system is too
acidic for pot metal, which should be plated first in the special Electroless Pot Metal Treatment. If you plan to

COPPER PLATING KIT
NEW BRIGHT COPPER FORMULA
For the restorer copper plating must be one of the most useful repair tools there is. By applying layers of copper, and
sanding between applications, an incredibly smooth surface can be quickly built up, covering scratches and minor pits
caused by corrosion. Copper can be plated up to 1/8" thick within a matter of a few hours.
More extensive repairs can be made by the use of a soldering iron and solder, which can be simply melted into the pits and
sanded flat. A final layer of copper plate to seal over the solder filler can then be buffed and polished to a high quality
luster. The successive layers of nickel and chrome plate applied to this type of quality substrate, will ensure a 'show quality'
finish.
Copper can be used to 'electroform', making complete objects from pure copper, by simply making a mold
from wax & conductive powder, copper plating the mold, then melting the wax. Copper can also be
formed over lead molds, and the lead melted away afterwards. This has some applications for the person
wishing to rePROD # uce decals.
The system will operate at room temperature, but plates sm oother and faster at 100 deg.F. The copper
plate can be applied directly over BRASS-COPPER- NICKEL, but cannot plate directly onto STEEL or
ALUMINUM, which requires a 'strike coat' to be applied first.

Bronzing Kit
This copper plating kit is designed to plate non-conductive items with a heavy copper layer, with a view to either
bronzing or further decorative platin g, such as nickel and gold. It may be used on almost any type of non conductive
material, such as some plastics, leather, cloth, and dried plants, and even fresh flowers.
The technique for plating baby shoes is exactly the same as almost any other object, so we have chosen to use this
procedure here as an example. As long as you can paint the object with an adhesive or lacquer, and apply copper
powder to it, then you can copper plate it. Once copper plated, any object can be nickel and or gold plated, or bronzed.
Baby Shoes. Wash the shoe and laces separately in detergent and allow to dry. Tie the laces, and allow them to fall

Allow to dry.
Spray or brush a second coat of lacquer to the entire shoe, and the laces. Lift the tongue into place and ensure it and
the laces are in the desired positions. Allow to dry. Apply one coat of CASWELL Conductive Lacquer Paint using a
small spray gun,. (You may need to add more solvent if depending on your spray gun). The coating should extend into
the shoe as far as possible. Allow to dry. Make sure the wires are well coated, otherwise you will not conduct power to
the surface of the shoe. Also ensure you completely cover the article in Conductive paint, including the sole. Make
a loose cradle of two or three loops of copper wire for the shoe to sit in. This is going to be suspended into
the copper plating tank, so needs to be secure. Weight the toe of the shoe with lumps of any scrap metal or

To aid the plating procedure, you may dip the object to be plated in CASWELL Tinning Solution.. This
coats the entire part with a thin layer of tin, which aids in even plating coverage. The part should be
dipped into the solution for approx. 30 seconds, then rinsed in fresh water. This procedure is optional. Use
only if you are experiencing difficulties in obtaining even coverage of the copper plate. Suspend
the
shoe from the tank bar, which should already be wired to the power unit, and immerse in the copper
plating tank. The shoe should immediately start plating. The average baby shoes will measure
approximately 25-30 square inches, so should be plated at the rate of (1amp per 20 sq “) 2 -3 amps.

The 16 gal Triple Chrome Plating Kit
This kit has been especially designed for the smaller workshop requiring high quality Chrome plating facilities for small to medium
sized parts. It is ideally suited to operate as a small business venture, plating automotive and motorcycle parts.
The kit is supplied with 2 rectifiers, the smaller one, a 25 amp capacity, is designed to operate the copper and nickel plating tanks,
with a maximum capacity of approx 300 sq. inch surface area. Amperage requirements for copper and nickel plating are
approximately 1 amp per 15 square inches of surface area. The larger rectifier, supplied by Aldonex Inc, is a 250 amp capacity,
specifically designed to control the higher demands of the Chrome Plating tank.
Amperage requirements of chrome plating are 1+ amps per square inch of surface area.
The 5 tanks supplied are constructed of HDPE, a chemical resistant plastic. They come with a lid and a metal locking ring
to ensure tanks are completely safe and sealed when not in use. Dimensions are:21" diameter 19" depth
Each plating tank has different heating and chemical resistance requirements, so a variety of heaters are supplied with the

Chrome Plating Kit
Please Note: Decorative Chrome Plate Must Be Applied Over A Nickel Plate. This Kit Is Designed For Use By People Who Are Plating Onto Nickel Or Have
Already Purchased A Nickel Plating Kit, or who are HARD chrome plating. See Our Triple Chrome Kit For A Complete Setup. See Our Copy Chrome Kit For A
Simple, One-Step Chrome Plate.
Chrome plating can be used for two purposes:
A. Hard Chrome Plate.
Usually used to build up shafts or areas on steel that are subject to severe wear. The hard chrome plating process can take several hours to build up. The procedure is
discussed extensively in The Complete Plating Manual, paying particular attention to the hard tipping of cutting tools.
B. Decorative Chrome Plate.
Most chrome plate is considered 'decorative'. It is a very thin layer, approx. 1/100th the thickness of a human hair, which is applied over a NICKEL plate. Chrome
offers NO corrosion resistance, as it is porous, so the nickel does all the protection. The chrome merely gives the nickel a 'blue' look, and stops it tarnishing.
Decorative chrome plate can be considered a 'clear coat' over the nickel 'paint job'. This chrome plating kit can therefore be considered only as an accessory to a
nickel plating kit, unless it is used for hard chroming.
Unlike nickel and copper plating, chrome uses a high current of one amp per square inch of surface area to be plated. This makes the larger operations, such as plating
bumpers and some wheels, more impractical for the smaller workshop. However, repairs to existing chrome plate can be carried out using this kit in conjunction with a
home-made brush plating wand.
Kits contain:
1 Plating Tank, lid & locking ring
Chrome Crystals
Chrome Anodes
Fume Control Balls
Tank Heater
You can chrome plate with a 6 or 12 volt battery, or charger, but if larger parts are involved, you may need to use 2
batteries. The higher amperage required can also be controlled by the inexpensive construction of a 'salt water rheostat',
a device made from a plastic tank, some salt water and 2 metal plates. Full instructions are in the Complete Plating
Manual.
Acid mist is PROD # uced during the chrome plating process from the vigorous action of the higher current used. Fume
Control Balls and chemical mist suppressant control this mist, which are supplied with the kit.
The Chrome Crystals supplied with the kit contain sufficient chrome to plate over 500 square feet of chrome plate per
gallon of made up solution. You should never need to replace this material. The Chrome is removed from the Chromic
Acid solution, and the anodes are not dissolved, as with the nickel and copper plating systems. It is unnecessary to replace these anodes. Should you ever wish to
dispose of the solution, we can supply you with a chemical to make the Chromic Acid solution safe to dispose in the drains.

FUME CONTROL SYSTEM
Due to the high current usage during chrome plating and anodizing, a mist of acid is produced from the
tank. This can become a nuisance due to the corrosive nature of the product and its yellow stain. The
Complete Plating Manual shows how to control much of this, using an inexpensive 'fume' hood made
from an old cooking stove/range hood.
Commercial platers also use these floating solid plastic balls to reduce this mist. They are left in the
tank and cover the entire surface of the chromic acid solution, reducing the emissions. They will reduce
the mist by as much as 70%, saving chemical and keeping the entire operation much cleaner. Approx
90 x 1" polyethylene floating balls are supplied in each pack, which is sufficient to cover one of our 3.5
or 5 gal plating tanks.
These balls are also great for other plating tanks, helping to keep heat in the tank, thus requiring less
energy to heat the tank.

COPY CAD & ZINC PLATING KIT
All the benefits of CADMIUM & ZINC PLATING without the dangers!
Reproduces the EXACT look of CADMIUM Plating!
No cyanides! No dangerous chemicals!
No fumes - no disposal problems
Sacrificial (cathodic) coating –
Just like real Cadmium & Zinc!
Ideal for nuts & bolts - washers- small fittings
Inexpensive - no need to deal with plating shops!
Excellent corrosion resistance!
Now, Copy Cad AND Zinc plating in one kit. By simply adding a special brightener to the solution, the normally dull, flat, whitish look of Copy Cad is transformed
into a commercial quality bright zinc plate. After use, the bath reverts back to the original Cadmium look.
The kit comes with an Abrasive wheel which provides a 'flat' finish to the metal for Copy Cad.
These kits are designed to provide a professional zinc finish to a variety of substrates on small components such as workshop tools, brake boosters, brackets and zinc
alloy carburetor castings.
Zinc plating is a most valuable tool when used in combating corrosion of steel. The zinc corrodes before the steel does, sacrificing itself for the benefit of the steel. A
metallurgical bond is formed between the zinc and steel forming an iron rich alloy with tenacious bond. Galvanizing can be left unpainted where it will form its own
protective oxide layer.
An A/C adapter is supplied in each kit. This will plate up to 15 sq” of surface area. Larger items will need alternative power supply, at the rate of 25 milliamps per sq”
of surface area @ 1.5 – 2 volts.
The kit contains:-
IRIDESCENT YELLOW CHROMATE & BLACKENER
1 plating tank & lid
Zinc Anode/s
Copy Cad/Zinc Crystals
Zinc Brightener
Degreaser
Tank Heater
Abrasive nylon wheel
A/c power adapter (1.5v)
After preparing the part to accept the process, the part is simply
dipped into a solution for a few minutes. The zinc & the chromate
react to form the new colors. To improve those older zinc (pot
metal) castings, plate with a fresh zinc plate before chromating.
Steel parts that have been previously plated with zinc can be
chromated with no further pretreatment. Zinc alloy die cast parts
may be surface activated by immersion in a weak acid. Full
operating instructions are in the manual. The Blackener provides a
deep black finish, similar to a Black Oxide, but with much better
corrosion resistance.

Brass Plating Kit
Cyanide free!
Caswell Brass Plating Solution is a unique cyanide-free alkaline brass plating system which plates a true 70/30 yellow-green plate (pale brass) directly onto steel and
bright nickel plated surfaces. It can be used for heavy brass plating which will be antiqued (oxidized and relieved). The system may also be used for decorative heavy
brass if the surface is burnished or buffed and colored with a wheel to remove the slight haze and reveal the true rich brass color for lamp parts, hardware and plumbing
fixtures.
To plate on zinc die cast surfaces, you must plate with the Electroless Pot Metal Treatment. The system eliminates carbonates. Therefore, there is no carbonate sludge
containing cyanide to be disposed of. The solution may be used to tank or brush plate. Brass tank plating requires an average current of 0.02-0.1 amps per sq. in. and
operates in the range of 3-12 Volts. Brass Plating is available on a small scale using PlugNplate kits

ALUMINUM ANODIZING KIT
This kit is designed to provide a professional finish to aluminum substrates for a variety of small products. Ideal
for small objects such as vehicle trim, boating accessories, electrical components, household object s, etc.
The Anodizing System:Using a sulfuric acid process (a practical method for small workshops) most grades of aluminum can be anodized.
This process is best suited to sheet metal applications, however aluminum castings can also be treated very
successfully.
The kit contains:2 x 3.5 gal tanks, lids & locking rings.
1 x 16 quart Ceramic lined tank + lid
G P Plates 2 x 12" x 8"
Anodize Stripper - 2 gal concentrate
Degreaser 2 gal concentrate
2 x 100 watt Tank Heaters
Fume Control Balls (for anodise tank)
Mist Suppressant
Color wheel
4 gal kit contains 300 w heaters 5 gal
tanks, and 4 gal stripper and degreaser
What is Anodize?
During the process, a thin film of clear colored oxide is formed over the aluminum. This is actually grown out of
the metal, and is a part of the original piece, unlike a plated surface which is likely to peel from the substrate. This
film is ALUMINUM OXIDE, a very hard protective layer. Because this layer is so hard and corrosion resistant, it
makes it the ideal and often preferred choice for the restorer of vehicles with aluminum trim etc.
At this stage of the process the film has microscopic
pores (see picture left) which have to be sealed (or
'fixed') by dipping the part into boiling water for 15 minutes. The part may be colored prior to boiling by
simply soaking in our range of professional anodizing dyes. An almost infinit e range of colors can be PROD #
uced by mixing the dyes together.
The system can be operated from a 12 volt car battery or charger. One gallon of regular strength battery acid
(sulfuric) is required to make up the anodizing solution. The anodize layer is formed at the rate of 0.0001" per
7 minutes. A 15 minute rate is ideal for most applications.
Due to the hardness of the Anodize finish, it is ideal for areas
where scratching from road grit etc. is likely to pose a problem.
It can be considered permanent if the part is buffed and polished
before the treatment is carried out. The finish can be made to
look like a chrome plate, and no further buffing or polishing will
be required.
The most exciting part of aluminum anodizing, is without doubt,
experimenting with the amazing array of colors and effects one
can produce, with a little practice and skill. The metal can be
pretreated in a variety of ways, polished, scratch brushed etc., the
anodize film grown, and then the colors applied prior to sealing
the anodize surface, permanently locking the colors into the
metal. The system is ideal for paintball guns, model aircraft
parts, and prototype work. The Complete Plating
$135.00 Manual discusses the numerous techniques for
$185.00 dyeing, including multicolor, ‘splash’ dyein g, silk screen printing, air brush spraying etc.

Each kit is supplied with a color wheel. Dyes can be mixed together to create a host of different
colors. The dyes are in concentrated liquid form, a 4oz bottle makes up 2 gals of ready to use dye.
To make up different colors, we suggest that you make up the colors to the correct dilution first,
then take a quantity of each dye and blend them together. A color chart can be seen on our
webpage @ www.caswellplating.com/anodizedye.htm
Anodized aluminum has a very durable surface that is unaffected by weather and many
chemicals. The surface will resist high temperatures, even a blowtorch, for short periods.
The issue of safety whilst anodizing is addressed by the use of plastic fume balls and a chemical
mist suppressant, both of which float on the surface of the anodizing tank. During operation, no
dangerous fumes are evident. Anodize Fume Suppressant may also be used on any sulfuric acid
electro-stripping or etching tanks.

NEW!
PLUG 'N
PLATE
Plug 'n Plate is a new concept
in plating small parts. Our
unique mains power pack
supplies just the right amount
of power allowing you to
brush, and in some situations,
dip plate your smaller
components. The Plug 'n Plate
system will also allow you to
patch repair areas where the
original plating has worn
away. Plug 'n Plate is ideal for vintage vehicle restorers, antique
collectors and dealers, and small workshops doing prototype work.
What could be simpler? The Plug 'n Plate wand is attached to the red
plug on the Power Pack, and the alligator clip is attached to the workpiece. The end of the wand is covered in an absorbent bandage, which
is soaked in the plating solution for a few seconds.
By stroking the part with swift brush strokes, the circuit is closed and
the plating metal bearing solution goes to work, depositing its
beautiful layer onto the object. If you wish to plate small objects all
over, then use the PlugNPlate system by suspending the part into the
solution from the negative alligator clip, then place the wand into the
solution on the edge of the bottle. The circuit will once again be
completed and plating will take place. This technique is ideal for
small intricate parts such as jewelry.
Gold Emblem Plating The system must be applied to a nickel or
buffed copper plate surface.
1. Stripping. Removing the existing chrome.
Attach a plating wand to the NEGATIVE side of your power pack.
You can clip the alligator clip inside the end of the wand, ensuring
electrical contact with the metal. Press the positive terminal plug to
the work piece. Make up a stripping solution of 1 level spoonful of
CASWELL ANODIZE & CHROME STRIPPER or SODIUM
HYDROXIDE or Lye, to 9 spoonfuls of water, in a plastic container.
Pour a small quantity of the stripping solution into a plastic cup. Use
only this liquid, and the original solution will stay fresh. Saturate the
wand with the stripping solution.
Stroke the wand slowly & gently over the work piece. The wand's
cotton will turn yellow as the chrome comes off. The work piece will
change color slightly as the chrome is removed.
To ensure all the chrome is off, apply fresh cotton and bandage to the
wand, then dip in fresh solution and lightly repeat the process. If no
yellow appears on the wand, then the part is successfully stripped.
Rinse the part in fresh water.
To remove chrome faster, you may attach the wand to a 12 volt
power supply, rather than use the PlugNPlate adapter.
2. Plating. Applying the gold plate.
Attach a plating wand to the red plug on the PlugNPlate adapter.
Pour a small quantity of Gold solution into a plastic cup. Use only
this liquid, and the original solution will stay fresh.
Saturate the wand with Gold solution. Stroke the wand slowly &
gently over the work piece. Initially you may increase the wand speed
slightly, then, as the gold color forms, slow the speed down to build up a thicker layer of gold.
The gold will become visible after 30 -60 seconds for 1-2 square inches of treated area. Repeat the gold application to increase the gold's durability. Finally, wash with
detergent, and rinse with water.
You may polish the metal with a proprietary metal polish. We recommend Collinite Metal Wax, as this has a very mild abrasive in it, which cleans off brush plating
smut marks and at the same time waxes and protects the plate. Use sparingly on silver and gold plate.

Copy CHROME
Looks Like Chrome - Has a hint of ‘Blue!!
Keeps Its Shine - Just Like Chrome!
No Fumes
No Corrosive Acids!
Hard Like Chrome - Tougher Than Nickel!
No Dangerous Chemicals - No EPA Problems
One coat system - eliminates 2 steps!
New CopyCHROME is a SIMPLE plating kit that provides almost all the benefits of chromium plate - without all
the hassle! The entire plating process takes the same time as our nickel plating kit, 15 minutes for indoors decorative,
30 minutes for tools, 1 hour for tough outside jobs!
The CopyCHROME process is ideal for all your small items such as door handles, brackets, hinges, nuts & bolts,
stamped steel covers, etc. It can be applied to:- steel, copper, brass, bronze, old nickel plate, and with the aid of Zincate Primer, aluminum.
What is this New CopyCHROME? Designed to be much easier to operate than our older formula, New
CopyCHROME is a nickel cobalt alloy, but formulated along the operating lines of our Nickel Plating kit.
Customers who have already used Regular Nickel will find this a breeze!
The Cobalt imparts a 'blue' tint to the nickel plate, and at the same time makes it much harder, so you end up
using the Nickel Plating process (pretty easy), yet finishing with something more akin to chrome. Current
requirement is 2-6 volts @ 15 sq." of surface area per amp allowing a small rectifier to plate those larger items,
without the massive current requirement of a real chrome plate operation.

BLACK OXIDE KIT
New 'COLD' system
Professional results in minutes!
Simple 'Dip & Coat' method Works on Steel Only
The commercial gun blue manufacturers developed this new technique, as a more environmentally
friendly system than the commonly used hot application. Parts requiring blackening are simply placed in
the liquid at room temperature. No electrical power is required.
How to achieve professional results in minutes:- Thoroughly clean the part to be blackened by either
sandblasting, wire brushing, wire wool abrasive cleaning, or by scrubbing in 'VIM' or 'COMET' household
abrasive cleaner. Make sure you have removed all rust, paint, oil and grease. Immerse the part in the
mixed Black Oxide Solution and swirl around for between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. Alternatively, the
part may simply be placed in the solution for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove the part from the solution and rinse
in fresh water. Immediately brush on or dip into the Penetrating Sealant, and allow to soak in the liquid for 5-10 minutes. Shake off any excess and allow to dry
thoroughly before handling.

24 carat GOLD TANK PLATING CYANIDE FREE
SYSTEMS!
Work safely with cyanide free gold to plate jewelry, flatware, baby shoes, flowers, bathroom fittings and much more.
Caswell 24ct Gold is ideal for immersion plating of larger items. Its deposition rate is slower than the FastGOLD brush
plating solution, but as larger areas are covered, the time factor is almost cancelled out. Certainly, tank-plating gold
requires much less supervision and effort than brush plating. 24Ct Gold plates @ 2 micro inches per minute using approx 3
volts. Plating time is 30-60 seconds, to provide a durable decorative finish. An application of a VHT Clear Lacquer or
Collinite Fleetwax Wax over a plated item will increase its wear capabilities, reduce water spotting and enhance the gold's
color.

Cyanide Free and Ecologically Friendlier
non-hazardous Shipping
Plates Uniformly and Economically
Durable, and Wear Resistant Gold Plate
FastGOLD is a new highly concentrated brush plating solution, designed especially for use with all types
of brush plating machines, including pen platers.
FastGOLD contains over 1 pennyweight of gold per 4oz of solution, (2 troy oz per gallon) which enables
the solution to plate an even layer of gold as quickly, if not quicker, than any cyanide based product.
FastGOLD plates quickly even in cold weather –less than one minute for most articles!
FastGOLD deposits over nickel, sterling silver, silver plate, gold, rhodium, and most other similar metals. Copper alloys and steel should be flash plated with nickel
prior to gold plating.
FastGOLD evenness of color is easy to control, thanks to special brighteners which help provide excellent coverage and leveling ability.
FastGOLD is the longest lasting and most durable gold money can buy!
FastGOLD is more reflective than ordinary gold, because it applies to the substrate in flat ‘platelets’ rather than in the granular structure of cyanide plating solutions.

SILVER PLATING KITS
Caswell Silver is a new type of alkaline cyanide free silver plating solution that will plate over nickel, sterling silver, gold, rhodium, copper, brass and bronze. The
system will provide uniform color consistency and even coverage.
It is important when silver plating to realize what type of finish is required on the part. If a highly polished surface is required, the part must be buffed to a high shine
before plating. If a matt finish is required, then the part should be beat blast ed or buffed with something like a Britex wheel.
Pure silver will be deposited on the part in 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of plate required. The system uses approx 1.5 – 3 volts. The same solution may
also be used for brush plating and is also supplied in PlugNplate Kits.

The CASWELL Foundry - in miniature
This unique kit has been developed to produce high quality reproduction parts, which can easily be plated with any of our
plating kits.
The sand casting technique is thousands of years old, and is extremely simple to do, providing you have the right equipment and know how! We have provided all the main ingredients in this kit to get you started within a matter of hours. From the
time of firing up your furnace, you could be plating 'new -old parts' within one hour!
Included in each kit is the famous book 'How to Cast Small Metal Parts', by Bill Cannon. He carefully explains how to make a
furnace, in less than one hour, using a metal container, (which is included in the kit) and an old hair drier, or blower. The
furnace can be run on propane gas from a barbecue, or charcoal. You will need to obtain 7 fire bricks and a bag of refractory
cement from a local fireplace store.
The ingots of CASWELL metal supplied are high quality, low temperature melting (650 0 F), and non corroding. It
will accept any of our plating systems. High quality detail will be produced using this metal. Replacement ingots can
be purchased separately.
A special, high quality PETRO BOND mold sand is supplied. The
fine mesh size of the sand allows for sharp definition of detail to be
obtained from the original. This material is blended with special oils,
which make it bond together when compressed. A complete novice
can set up the entire operation, and produce professional parts on his
first attempt!
Pictured above, an original door handle being
used as a master in the sand mold.
Complicated shapes and designs can be cast, and many examples are
shown in the handbook!

Version 3
Version 3 of The Complete Plating Manual is without doubt, the most advanced ‘how to’ plating book available today. Containing over 200 pages, it specifically
addresses the problems of plating on a small scale, and wherever possible employs the “Keep It Simple” formula. Standard plating techniques such as nickel and
copper plating have been upgraded, and there are many new systems discussed, such as ‘hard’ chrome plating, electroless plating and aluminum anodizing.
Detailed instructions on how to hard chrome plate tool tips, gives the novice a completely new perspective to his workshop. The anodizing section shows how to
‘splash color’ anodize (just like the way paintball guns are done), using a new range of Caswell dyes.
Manufacture your own gilding foils, easy techniques for making gold, copper and nickel leaf. There is an excellent section on bronzing things like baby shoes, and

Some Frequently Asked Questions About Our products And Their Uses
I Think I Want To Buy A Kit, But I'm nor sure whether I'll Be Able To Figure Out How To Use It? - Understandable! We suggest a small investment of $25 in our
Complete Plating Manual. Reading through this book will show you how easy it is. If you buy a kit after buying the manual, we'll refund the $20 ($5 for postage) But,
this stuff is easy! We sold a kit to a 13 year old in Houston, TX and he's plating everything in sight. Also, if you get stuck, we're here to help.
I Don't See My Question Here? - Give us a call and ask us in person. The phone number is (315) 597-5140. We're located in upstate New York, USA. You can call
between 9:00am-4:00pm Eastern Time Monday through Thursday.
Can I Store The Kit Without The Solution Going Bad? - Yes. You can put the kit aside for as long as you like. Just remove the anodes and securely attach the locking
lid. We recommend transferring the chrome solution into a glass container. The acid very slowly dissolves the plastic tank.
What Kit Would Be Best For Me? - Umm, why don't you give us a call, let us know what you want to do (i.e. chrome, zinc, anodizing, cadmium, nickel etc,) what kind
of metal you're plating onto, the size of the biggest part you want to do, the dimensions of the part (approx.), and you're favorite color and we'll figure something out for
you.
What Size Items Can I Plate? - Well, you can technically plate anything, but we recommend sticking to parts that are manageable. Don't bother with car bumpers or
rims. They require huge tanks, huge amounts of power, and way too much time. Leave items that large to the plating shops.
What If My Parts Don't Fit In The Tank? - Our manual describes several ways to get around this. One trick is to use a plastic window box, or a downspout cut in half, to
plate long, thin objects. Another is....well, we don't want to give away too many secrets.
How Long Will My Plate Last? - That depends on how long you plate your part for. The longer you plate it, the longer the plate will last. All our plating kits use the
same chemicals and processes as the plating shops that plated your parts originally. You can expect the same or better durability than the original plate.
What's The Hardest Part Of Plating? - The surface preparation. The real trick to a great looking finished product is getting the part to look great before you plate it. It's
actually quite easy -- Using our buffing wheels and compounds, and following the instructions in the manual, you can get the part looking like it's been plated, before
you plate it! Then you know you are ready to plate. The rest is simple.
What If I Get Stuck Or Can't Get Something To Work? - Help is just a phone call or an email away. We have be en helping people get set -up, get results, and win shows
since day one. We can usually diagnose the problem the first time you call. To help us help you, keep detailed notes as you plate...temperatures, amps, volts, the size of
the items you're plating, what metal it's made from etc. Our new manual has an excellent troubleshooting section.
I've Already Got Tanks & Heaters & Stuff, Can You Give Me A Deal? - Sure! Just realize that we sell our kits at a HUGE discount over buying the parts individually.
You'll save some money if you don't want certain parts, but you get a better overall 'deal' if you buy a kit. Give us a call and we'll work something out.
Isn't Chrome Plating Dangerous? - Yes! But if you follow our instructions, and use the supplied fume control system and some common sense, you can chrome plate all
day and night without any problems.
Why Can't I Buy Just A Chrome Plating Kit? - You can, but it won't work unless you're plating onto nickel, or doing hard chrome for surfacing tools etc. Chrome is best
on a nickel plate, so our Triple Chrome Plating Kit has a nickel kit included. We also sell a Nickel/Chrome Combo Kit if you don't want copper, and a Chrome Kit if
you're plating onto nickel or you've already bought a nickel plating kit from us.
Why Would Anyone Want To Copper Plate? - Copper is probably the most useful kit we sell. Plating shops use copper plate as a kind of high build filler, and so do we.
Copper is an integral part of our Triple Chrome Plating Kit. It is plated on top of a nick el strike coat and allowed to build into a thick layer. Because copper is a soft
metal, it can then be buffed up to a high shine, smooth even finish. This removes any small pits or scratches or other defects that would show up in the final finish.
Copper can also be soldered using our special solders, to fill in more serious marks.
How Can I Plate Onto Plastic? - You can plate onto most non-conductive parts by using one of our conductive coatings. The part is coated with a conductive paint,
which makes the part conductive. You can then immersion plate the part in your plating tank.
Can I Use Your Kits To Plate Aluminum? - Yes! Using our new Zincate Concentrate, the parts are pre-treated and can them be plated in most of our plating kits.
Why Is A Pre-Treatment Required? - Because aluminum forms an oxide layer when exposed to air. This layer prevents plating from sticking and must be removed by
zincating. The zincate leaves a thin layer of zinc over the aluminum, which prevents another oxide layer from forming when removed from the solution. This oxide
layer also makes keeping polished aluminum looking good, so hard. A good wax or polish will prevent the oxide layer from forming for a few months.
If Copy Cad Isn't Cadmium, What Is It? - It's magic! No, act ually it is a type of zinc plate. We've changed the chemicals and messed around with the color until it was
right on the money.
What Makes Zinc and Cad So Similar? - They're both sacrificial coatings, meaning that they both sacrifice themselves to the metal to prevent corrosion.
How do you remove old chrome plate? - By using a weak solution of muriatic acid and a stainless steel or lead sheet, you can reverse plate the chrome off. Because
chrome plate is a very thin layer, the chrome is stripped very quickly. You can also buff the chrome off with an abrasive compound, such as emery, or a Brightex wheel.
How do you remove nickel plate? - By using an acid pickle made from diluted battery acid and a stainless steel or lead sheet, you can reverse plate the nickel. This
technique is described in detail in our plating manual.
Do I Need To Spend A Fortune On A Rectifier? - Nope! You can use a 12V or 6V battery and auto or motorbike light bulbs in the circuit to control the current. Our
manual demonstrates how to do this, along with a few other low cost power control ideas. Rectifiers are useful tools if you can afford them, but not necessary.
What is a Rectifier? - A rectifier plugs into the mains and converts mains current into a usable current for plating. A rectifier is all you'll need to provide power to your
tank. Rectifiers are available in several different output sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions Cont.
Do You Do Brass Plating? - Yes. We have a brass brush plating solution that contains cyanide. It is not suitable for immersion plating. We are still looking for a good
immersion system.
How About Silver Plating? - Our Silverplater and Silversmith products do a good job of silver plating small objects safely. We also have a cyanide free Silver Plating
Solution as well.
How About Gold? We have a very good cyanide free gold plating solution, which can be brush or tank plated.
How Big Are The Tanks? - The tanks we supply are High -Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and are excellent for plating in. The ¾ Gal Copy Cad Kit and Miniature Repair
Shop use 1 gal tanks that are 8" dia x 7" deep. The 1 gal plating kits use 2 gal tanks that are 9" dia x 9" deep. The 2 gal kits use 3½ gal tanks that are 12" dia x 10" deep.
The 4 gal kits use 5 gal tanks that are 12" dia x 18" deep. The 16 gal kits use 20 gal tanks which are 22" dia x 20" deep.
What Is Aluminum Anodize? - It's a very hard coating that is electrochemically grown out of the aluminum. It is great for corrosion resistance because it is so hard, but
if it does become dull and need polishing, forget it! It takes on the appearance of the aluminum before it is anodized, i.e. If the aluminum is polished and shiny, the
anodize will be shiny. If it is rough, sand cast, the anodize will appear similar. It can also be colored using a million different combinations of our new range of
professional quality dyes.
If Polishing Aluminum Is So Hard, Why Would Anyone Anodize Anything? - Because aluminum oxidizes so quickly, it requires almost constant polishing to keep it
looking great. Anodizing the part prevents the oxidization process, and maintains the finish much longer. It also resists scratching. The downside is that once the
anodize has become dull, the only thing to do is to chemically strip it using Anodize Stripper or sandblast it off, then re-apply.
What Is Electroless Plating? - Electroless plating requires no power source. The metal is deposited on the part using a complex chemical reaction, rather than being
forced onto the part by a power source. Electroless plating usually requires that the solution be heated to high temperatures (190ºF) for the reaction to take place.
What Are The Advantages Over Regular Electroplating? - Firstly, you don't have to spend money on a power source and you don't have to make any electrical
calculations or connections. You don't have to worry about anode placement, because the solution will plate anywhere that it contacts, even inside tubes. You get very
even coverage. It fills in pits and plates inside odd shapes easily.
What Are The Disadvantages? - Because the solution needs to be heated to high temperatures, it needs to be placed in a suitable ceramic lined container and placed onto
a heat source, like a range or grill, so you're limited in the size of the part you can plate by the size of the tank. You can't use a metal tank because the solution will
actually plate the tank itself. Also, the metal plates out of the solution, so it needs replacement much more quickly than regular electroplating solutions.
What Electroless Systems Do You Sell? - We have three different electroless kits, a Nickel, a pot metal treatment and Krome. Our nickel kit will plate most metals. The
Pot Metal Treatment prepares pot metal for plating in other kits, as well as imparting a protective finish. The Krome is actually a nickel kit with extra chemicals added
to give the finish that distinctive Chrome look. It's much safer and easier than a real chrome plate.
Will Your Gold Refining System Work On Circuit Boards? - Yes it will. The kit includes an excellent video and some interactive computer software for Windows
95/98 users that explain the process in detail.

SILVERSMITH & SILVERPLATER
SILVERSMITH CONTAINS CYANIDE AND CAN ONLY BE SOLD TO BUSINESSES - NO HOUSEHOLDS PLEASE
A great new way to re-silver:- Headlight reflectors, knobs, bezels, ornaments, flatware, contacts, etc.
For old silver objects, simply apply a small amount of SILVERSMITH/PLATER to a soft cloth, and rub gently. The part will be etched clean and
plated with a substantial layer of SILVER within a matter of seconds, as you polish. Rinse in fresh water and dry with a clean soft cloth.
SILVERSMITH/PLATER can be applied to surfaces made, or plated with, nickel, copper, bronze, brass, zinc. It will NOT work on base metals
such as steel and aluminum. (But you could plate these with nickel first). The part should be highly buffed and polished before application. As
this is a real silver plate, it will tarnish gradually as with normal silver plate. A light rub over with a small quantity of SILVERSMITH/PLATER
will soon restore the shine. Reflectors should last several years before needing a further application. Unlike metal polishes,
SILVERSMITH/PLATER actually applies more metal each time you use it. Made with 99.99% pure silver.
SILVERPLATER is the same product, but without the dangerous cyanide. This causes the plate to be applied slower than with SILVERSMITH.

Techno-Weld
TECHNO-WELD is a revolutionary material in the field of Aluminum Joining, and overcomes some of the major
problems associated with traditional methods
SIMPLE TO USE - Joining with TECHNO-WELD is a similar process to gas soldering/silver soldering, therefore
traditional Aluminum welding skills are not necessary. Like soldering, it is a two stage process, where the first stage is
to heat the work piece to 380C and 'tin' the surfaces to be joined with the TECHNO-WELD rod - the TECHNO-WELD
alloy diffuses into the surface, changing the composition and reducing the melting point of the parent alloy. The second stage is to reheat the mated surfaces to 380C,
allowing the surface layers to fuse together. Any general heat source appropriate to the job can be used, such as an Air-Acetylene or Air-Propane Blowtorch. No need to
raise the temperature of the job dangerously near the melting point of the Alloy itself, avoiding the possibility of sudden collapse of the job.
NO FLUX/FLUX FUMES - The process requires no Flux at all, and is therefore free from toxic flux fumes There is no need for special cleaning processes after the
work has been done. Any joints that have been prepared with TECHNO-WELD can be ground back and painted or plated without the possibility of the coating 'spoiling'
due to flux migration.
A STRONG FUSION WELD - TECHNO-WELD forms a true Fusion Weld. Although the welder is not heating the work piece up to it's melting point, the area of work
piece under the correctly applied TECHNO-WELD will melt and form an alloy with the TECHNO-WELD material without high local temperatures The resultant
material is very hard (like a soft version of mild steel), has good tensile and compressive strengths which serves to reinforce the join or filled area.
VERSATILE - TECHNO-WELD is effective on virtually all grades of Aluminum Alloys, including special derivatives such as MMC's, Birmabrite (Land Rover
bodies), as well as Zinc and low Magnesium content Alloys. The TECHNO-WELD material has a high surface tension in it's molten state, and can therefore be used to
bridge gaps and holes up to 10mm in die, and can be used to 'build up" areas of missing metal.

EPOXY GAS TANK SEALER
Resistant to all fuel additives
Using the very latest in 2 part Epoxy Resin technology, we have developed a simple yet very durable lining
for all fuel tanks. It will handle all types of fuel, and is resistant to all fuel additives. This type of Epoxy has
much better bond strength than single component products, with strengths of up to 3000 psi, and this higher
strength reduces the need for a clinically clean surface, as the epoxy actually prefers to bond to a rough rusty
surface.
To prepare the tank, simply place several nuts & bolts inside and about a pint of lacquer thinner, MEK or
toluene. Shake the tank around to dislodge any loose particles, then drain off the liquid and allow to dry. This
procedure removes any oils left over from t he fuel.
Block off any weeping seams or holes by placing duct tape over them, and fill any ports with putty, then mix
up the Epoxy Gas Tank Sealer and pour into the tank. Slowly rotate the tank in every direction for several minutes, then pour out any excess resin. Allow to harden
overnight before putting into use.
Epoxy Gas Tank Sealer coats up to 2 x 5 gal tanks.

YOU CAN’T PLATE ALUMINUM
Without Zincate Pre -Treatment For Aluminum
Using CASWELL Zincate Solution, aluminum can be pre-treated, and then plated in one of our plating kits. The problem:- Aluminum forms an oxide layer the minute
it is exposed to air. This presents a problem when plating aluminum, as the oxide layer prevents the plate from sticking. By using the Zincate process as a pre-plate dip,
we chemically remove the oxide layer and at the same time, apply a layer of zinc. The zinc protects the aluminum until it is ready to be plated. As the part is lowered
into the plating tank, the zinc is etched away by the nickel solution and plating proceeds onto a clinically clean surface.
The process:- Bead blast the part to remove all heavy oxides and contaminants. Buff & polish the part to the required shine. Thoroughly degrease the part in either
CASWELL SP Cleaner or a suitable solvent such as acetone or lacquer thinner. Make up the zincate solution per instructions. Heat the solution to 75°F Immerse the
solution for 15 sec. to 2 minutes. Immersion time will depend on the alloy, zincate condition and temperature. If the alloy reacts violently with the solution, then shorten
the time immersed. If no reaction is visible, then immersion times can be extended.
A uniform gray appearance is usually a sign of a properly zincated surface, however there are cases where a dark, slightly streaked surface is acceptable. As the zincate
solution is depleted, there will be a noticeable increase in the gassing. You can replenish the solution by adding about 10% of the Zincate Concentrate, or simply make
up a new batch.
Rinse the part and prepare for plating in any of our nickel plating kits.

Plum-Loy
The active solder paint
Here's a great new way to carry out repairs to pits in your castings.
-Plum-Loy is made from a fine dust of solder, mixed with tinning flux and cleaning agents. It can be painted onto a
surface with a small brush.
-As soon as the tip of a torch flame touches the thin layer of Plum -Loy, it melts, 'tinning' the surface. This uses much
less heat than required to melt a stick or wire solder, making it ideal to repair onto thin plated surfaces.
-Dents in the surface? Simply apply Plum-Loy to the area, melt it, then apply regular stick solder to 'puddle in' the
area, just like the old fashioned way of lead filling.
-Deep pits? Paint over a layer of Plum -Loy, heat to melt, then apply more to fill the hole.
-Plum-Loy is ideal for painting over those areas with small pits or scratches. It will bond to steel, copper, brass,
bronze, and nickel. It can ONLY be plated with copper plate. Ideally, you should try to 'sandwich the Plum-loy between two
layers of copper plate.
-To finish:- Sand or file down the area, then apply a copper plate to cover. Buff the plate and finish with nickel and
or chrome.

GLASS POLISHING KIT
A Low cost solution to those irritating vision impairing scratches
Our glass polishing kit consists of one 2" diameter felt bob mounted on a 1/4" shaft, with a tub of
cerium powder - an optical grade glass polishing compound.
To remove scratches that you cannot feel with your fingernail, mark them on the inside of the glass
with a crayon or a piece of tape. (Deeper scratches may not be possible to remove, but their nuisance
value can be greatly reduced.)
Mix up a small quantity of the powder with some water to make a wet slurry, and dip the flat end of
the felt bob in it.
Mount the bob in the fastest electric drill available.
Using the FLAT bottom of the bob, (not the cylindrical side), work the slurry up and down across the
scratch until it is removed.
-Keep the surface wet - do not allow the slurry to dry out, otherwise the glass will get hot.

Copper Conductive Powder
Make Your Own Conductive Paint
There are many objects that are not metallic, yet need to be plated. Most people are familiar with 'Baby Shoe Bronzing" where small leather
shoes are 'dipped' in copper. The process is carried out by gluing a layer of fine copper powder to the shoe. Once this has been allowed to dry,
the part is then immersed in the copper plating tank and a heavy layer of copper applied.
Plastic and other parts can be treated the same way. We have found that the copper powder is best applied to plastic, (car parts & models) by
mixing the copper into some PVCor ABS plastic pipe adhesive (Made by the Oatey Co.) This can then be brushed or sprayed onto the part and
allowed to dry, and then plated first with copper, then nickel and or chrome. On plastic model cars, the nickel plate makes an excellent
substitute for chrome. The copper can be polished to a high shine using metal polishes etc. and this will improve the reflective properties of the nickel plate.

BRIGHTEX WHEEL
Brightex wheels remove rust, scratches, minor blemishes
old paint, and plating. A featherlite touch is required with these wheels, unlike and
ordinary buffing wheel. Heavy pressure will result in premature wear of the wheel. The
blisters found in chrome, particularly on pot metal, can be flattened with this wheel.
Substrates take a flat satin finish, which should be buffed with emery and a sisal wheel,
followed by white or brown compound on a cotton wheel. Fits ½” & 5/8” shafts.

SPIRAL SEWN COTTON WHEEL
Spiral sewn wheels are the workhorse of most buffing and polishing jobs. Because the plies of cotton cloth are sewn together spirally, the
wheel becomes much harder and more pressure can be exerted on it. This is especially useful when 'cutting' the metal.
The faces of these wheels are pre-raked to accept compound immediately.
These wheels are dependable and long wearing. Use With Any Compound

Sisal Wheel
Sisal is a slender, hard, cellular strand of fiber that has demonstrated its great strength and tough resiliency in the form of binder twine, cord & rope for many years.
These qualities, along with its natural abrading and grease absorbing characteristics, provide an ideal buffing wheel fabric.
Sisal buffing wheels will provide both polishing and cutting action. They will remove stretcher strains, orange peel, polishing wheel grit lines, light die marks, etc.
To effect a fast cut, use a sisal wheel with the Black Emery compound.

The main purpose of a loose cotton wheel is to polish and cut in a similar manner to the Spiral sewn wheel, except that this wheel, not being
tightly stitched together, will 'mush' or collapse, allowing the cotton to get into awkward places more easily. If you have an object with fine
details and awkward crevices, then this is the wheel to use. Use with any compound.

ABRASIVE WHEEL SYSTEM
LOW COST FLEXIBLE GRINDING WHEEL
For use on your buffing machine!
Much more abrasive than the toughest greaseless compounds
Cuts through: PAINT, RUST, PLATING
Grinds away: SHARP EDGES, PITS, SCRATCHES,
PARTING LINES, MOLD MARKS,
TOOL & DIE MARKS, STRETCHED METAL MARKS, BURRS ETC.
The Abrasive Wheel System comprises of a special adhesive, and a tough 80 grit aluminum oxide powder.
Once the adhesive has hardened on the wheel of your choice, (usually a spiral sewn buffing wheel) the wheel is transformed into a
tough, yet somewhat flexible grinding wheel, capable of grinding of plating, paint, rust, and smoothing out all metals.
The system is ideal for making felt bobs more abrasive. Using a knife or spatula, the thixotropic adhesive is
spread evenly around the face of your wheel. Finally, roll the wheel into the abrasive using light pressure,
ensuring a heavy p ickup of the abrasive.
Leave the coated wheel to air dry for several hours prior to
use. Subsequent applications will provide a longer lasting
system. Gentle heat from an oven will speed up drying times
considerably.
As the system wears off, the wheel may be retreated
numerous times.

VHT HIGH TEMPERATURE SILICONE COATING
VHT FlameProof coating was originally developed some 30 years ago and Is now used as a protective coating for the white-hot surfaces of space-bound and re-entry
vehicles. Since its inception, new ideas for applications have been developed by numerous industrial, automotive, and electrical engineers. These include aerospace
hardware, smoke stacks, jet engines, heat exchangers, boilers, heaters, exhaust manifolds, mufflers, steam pipes, barbecues, electrical hardware, and countless other
applications where resistance to high temperatures and/or weathering is required.
Leading major industrial firms have come to rely on VHT FlameProof coating to solve many of their most difficult problems. Firms such as IBM, Corning glass, Colt
Industries, B.F. Goodrich, Bechtol Corporation, Combustion Engineering, Air Research, Alcoa, RCA, Raytheon, NASA, Hughes Aircraft Lockheed, Cessna, North
American Rockwell, and countless others equally impressive have benefited by our progress in high temp erature coatings.
Ideal for Use on:
Automotive Exhaust Snowmobiles Jet Ski Motorcycle Exhaust
Barbecues Franklin Stoves Fireplaces Mufflers
Surface preparation:
Ferrous MetaIs
1. Powder, blast with 120 grit or finer grain size.
2. Rinse thoroughly with lacquer thinner acetone, trichlorethylene or vapor degrease.
3. Do not allow raw metal to oxidize prior to coating application.
Stainless Steels and Titanium
1. Powder-blast with 120 grit or finer grain size.
2. Rinse thoroughly with lacquer thinner, acetone, trichlorethylene or vapor degrease.
Copper
1. This metal must be nickel flash -plated prior to coating with VHT FlameProof.
Galvanized Metal
1. Clean surfaces thoroughly with lacquer thinner, acetone, or vapor degrease.
2. Apply VHT FlameProof coating directly to galvanized surface.
Aluminum
1, No special surface preparation Is required, except removal of oil films, etc.
2. anodized, irridited and alodyned surfaces can be directly coated with VHT FIameProof for lower
temperature re use only.
Application:
Apply a THIN, even coat - just enough to thoroughly COLOR. Excessive build-up is not necessary or recommended. In applications requiring heavy coating, buIld-up
should be done In stages, each successive coat being cured as recommended below nominal coating wet thickness .0015" - .002". VHT FlameProof coatings require no
primer. For most economical use of VHT FIameProof colors on "hard to hide" surfaces, apply a thin coat of VHT FlameProof white or VHT FIameProof Silver base
coating.
Curing
VHT FlameProof coatings will air dry In 15 to 30 minutes and, if handled with reasonable care, may be put to immediate use..
Heat curing method for maximum resistance to solvents, salt spray, humidity, thermal shock and heat 15 minutes at 250°F 30 minutes at 600°F 1 hour at 800 F 30
minutes at 1,000°F
On non -traffic surfaces and where solvent resistance is not required, VHT FlameProof coating. may be used as air-dried. curing may be accomplished by the Inherent
heat of operation such as encountered in engine manifolds and exhausts, boilers, heaters, etc. or by following the curing instructions below. ALL CURING SHOULD
BE DONE SLOWLY.

POWDER COATING SYSTEM - JUST LIKE THE PROFESSIONALS!
Here is a great way to paint small parts. The process is simple, requiring only an old electric oven to bake the
finish on. Here’s how it works!
Firstly, the surface of the part is suitably prepared, just as you would for any other paint job.
The special gun is attached to an air compressor, and a power unit. The air blows the powder from the gun, and the power unit gives the powder a positive charge. At
the same time, the power unit is connected to the piece being coated, and so it has a negative charge. As the positive paint particles fly through the air, they are attracted
to the part and lay in an even layer over the entire area of the part. (This works a little like dust on a TV screen)
The part is then placed in an dedicated electric oven, and baked for a while. This cures the coating to a tough chemical resistant finish. It is important not to use a gas
oven, as the emissions from the coating are flammable.

POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint
TIE-COAT Primer™
Now, prime and paint right over cured POR-15 ® with our new TIE-COAT Primer™. After thousands of requests from customers, our chemists
developed this very special 'interlocking' primer for painting over top of POR-15® with any type or color of paint you choose, without any need to
rough up or de -gloss the surface.
BLACKCOTE™ and CHASSISCOAT BLACK™
Topcoats for POR-15 ® and other finishes
Here are the companion products you've been asking for. BLACKCOTE™ and CHASSISCOAT BLACK™ are topcoats with attributes similar to POR15 ® Rust Preventive Coating, but with no sensitivity to UV light. Both are highly flexible, non-porous, extremely scratch resistant, and strengthened by
exposure to moisture. Use either one of them over POR-15® for the toughest, most permanent protection against rust and corrosion ever developed.
They won't crack, chip or peel, and they look terrific.
TIE-COAT Primer™ is a tough-yet -sandable single-component polyurethane primer, with special adhesion characteristics that make it perfect
for most painted surfaces... Especially POR-15 ®. And, it is highly resistant to penetrating topcoats, like lacquers, enamels, and two-component
finishes. It sands very smoothly, too. Try some on your next project!
BLACKCOTE™ is a beautiful glossy black finish, while CHASSISCOAT BLACK™ has a smooth, satiny semi- gloss appearance. If
your car or truck was produced in the USA from the early 50's to today, the semi- gloss finish is probably more 'correct as original'
for underhood and chassis components, while earlier vehicles usually came with gloss black frames, chassis, and underhood parts. Call us today, and order
the one that best suits your needs.
PELUCID™ Super-tough New Clear Coat
Add tough, incredibly 'deep' clear luster to most any surface with all-new Pelucid™. Pelucid™. is super clear, super glossy, and unbelievably
tough! Use it on painted or unpainted steel, fiberglass, wood, and many other surfaces that need a clear luster finish. This tough yet flexible coating
dries to a clear-as-water, rock-hard finish that won't crack, chip, peel, or yellow in sunlight, and is actually strengthened by exposure to moisture,
rather than weakened like most coatings.
GLISTEN PC TM A Brilliant Two-Component Clear Coating
Glisten PC is a High Gloss, Rock Hard, Water-clear topcoat designed for spray or brush application over all metal surfaces, including highly
polished aluminum and chrome surfaces. Glisten PC will not leave brushmarks, and will dry in less than one hour, but will take 3-4 days to reach
maximum hardness. When Glisten PC is first dry to the touch, it will appear to be very soft. Avoid touching it for several days until it becomes
hard and tough. Accidental contact could damage the surface before full cure has taken place. Like many other coatings, Glisten PC is a
MOISTURE-CURED coating, which means it is strengthened by exposure to moisture. It will never crack, chip, peel, or yellow, and is very
flexible as well. IDEAL USES: As a protective coating on aluminum wheels, chrome bumpers, marine railings, chrome or aluminum covers, grills, handles, ornaments,
lights, etc.
METAL MASKTM Is it bare metal, or is it Metal Mask TM?
After years of development, we have finally answered your urgent requests for a super-tough coating that looks just like bare metal. Now you
can permanently coat and protect all of those components on your chassis that were left unpainted by the factory when the vehicle was new.
Items such as spindles, steering boxes, coil brackets, rear ends, leaf springs, bolt heads, suspension components, master cylinders, coil springs,
gas tanks, cast iron transmission housings, and others will look 'factory correct' when coated with Metal Mask TM
Gone forever are the days when you had to rely on cheap cans of enamel spray paint that look good for a few months or weeks, but cannot
withstand the rigors of the road. Metal Mask TM is extremely tough, very chip and scratch resistant, and amazingly close to the color of brandnew cast iron or bare steel. Metal Mask TM is the perfect coating for the high stress brackets, such as hood hinges, hood springs, hood latch
assemblies, etc. It is super tough yet flexible, making it perfect for those areas where enamel paint is sure to flake away. Try Metal Mask TM on
your project today! USE IT FOR: Undercarriages Engine Compartments Gas Tanks · Master Cylinders, Suspension Components, Hood Hinges, Springs & Latches

POR-15 ® is a paint-like substance which acts as a total rust inhibitor and is also very effective as a metal filler. It's consistency is
approximately that of paint and it has very good spreadability (one quart covers 96 square feet).
POR-15 ® chemically bonds to rusted steel to form a rock-hard, non-porous coating that won't crack chip, or peel. It works by
isolating metal from moisture. Without moisture present, steel can't rust.
Thin, covering coats are best; POR-15 ® will accept all paints, including lacquer-based paints.
BLACK- used on frames, floorboards, under fenders, engine compartments, truck areas.
GRAY - used for marine and industrial applications, also excellent on concrete.
SILVER - contains metal filler and should be used on badly rusted steel to fill small holes and add strength to the metal.
CLEAR - dries to a perfect satin gloss, and is used on exterior surfaces before final painting and is excellent for "touch up"
applications and may be used in all other areas as well.
SEMI-GLOSS* BLACK - perfect for areas that demand factory original semi-gloss black such as frames, chassis, firewalls, inner
fenders, suspension and body undersides

METAL-READY™ provides the best adhesion for POR-15 ® on any surface, including aluminum and shiny polished metal surfaces.
Our simple one-step process gently etches metal, creating an ideal anchor pattern for coatings such as POR-15 ®, while simultaneously
leaving a zinc phosphate film to promote chemical bonding of paint and steel. Avoid other preps that may leave harmful residues that
prevent proper adhesion of POR-15 ® or other coatings. After thoroughly degreasing your work piece, apply environmentally safe,
METAL-READY™ to both neutralize any rust and etch any clean bare metal. This will allow better adhesion of POR-15 ® or any paint.
METAL-READY™ is not caustic, corrosive, toxic or flammable.
MARINE-CLEAN™ cleans and degreases in one application without leaving residues, noxious fumes or
flammable solvents. No other cleaner works as fast or as well. It makes petroleum-based cleaners almost
obsolete because MARINE-CLEAN™ can be diluted with water up to 3, 4, 5 and even 10 times its volume
while remaining more potent than other cleaners. MARINE-C LEAN™ removes grease, oil, mildew, algae, musty odors, soap films, wax. Use
it to clean canvas, vinyl, nylon, holding tanks, grease traps, auto parts and more. See the difference that MARINE-CLEAN™ can make at
home, work or play. Even if you're fairly sure that your work piece is clean, hit it with MARINE-CLEAN™ to be absolutely certain of good
adhesion. Includes convenient spray bottle.
AP-120 METAL PREP Now achieve the ultimate clear finish on brightly polished metal, using our all- new AP-120 metal pre p.
Designed exclusively for use with our super-clear GLISTEN PC TM coating, AP-120 eliminates impurities and films that may be

Handling Instructions: Do not handle fabric with bare hands. Because it is a special type of fiberglass cloth, the fibers may pierce
your skin and you will experience discomfort. Your kit contains five pairs of latex gloves. Wear a pair of gloves (or other protection)
whenever you handle this cloth. As you cut the cloth, some fibers may fly into the air, so be sure to wear the mask provided while cutting.

body fillers. Try it yourself, it's incredible!

cures to a rock-hard, non-porous finish that won't chip, crack, or peel when applied as directed. It's perfect for wrought iron, patio
furniture, plumbing fixtures, etc., because it's super-tough, not UV-sensitive, and brilliantly white. Use it to repair a bathtub or
sink with chips or rust stains, or to paint and protect an old boat, trailer or RV, or anything that you want to be permanently white.

finishes, with long "pot-life", so they're very easy and convenient to use. Use Hardnose TM paints on your garage floor, and you'll
have a beautiful finish that will never chip, crack, or peel. Put HardnoseTM on your tractor, wheel barrow, or bulldozer ... anything
that needs tough paint.
HardnoseTM paints are also excellent for industrual applications. Use our safety yellow or orange colors on floors, machinery
guards, or heavy equipment, and then stand back and marvel at how long they last under abuse.
