How to Make Nickel Sulfate Safely ~ A Nickel Plating Solution Ingredient

Creating nickel sulphate at home doesn't have to be hazardous. Here is a straight forward and easy way to make nickel sulfate solution for nickel electroplating safely.

The most common application of nickel sulphate is to electrplate nickel. Most sources of manufactured nickel sulphate are significantly more expensive than what it cost to make it at home. In this video I'll walk you through the how to and the why for everything you need to know to make do it yourself nickel sulfate.

I make DIY videos all the time and try and make them as simple as possible. This video still involves the use of battery acid so make sure you take all the appropriate safety precautions when handling this compound. Sulphuric acid can cause very serious chemical burns and is extremely corrosive so be safe out there.

There isn't a whole lot of quality content out there for practical manufacturing of NiSO4 crystals for nickel plating. So hopefully this video fills that gap.
