I tried to make these instructions easy to follow and simple, in my experience I've only had limited success with nickel plating up till now but with this recipe I've gotten really good results. This recipe is called a Watt's Plating Bath and is based on the guidance provided in the nickel plating handbook which can be viewed here: https://www.nickelinstitute.org/media/2323/nph_141015.pdf
Nickel plating is useful for creating decorative coatings of bright silvery metal that's corrosion resistant or for precoating other materials in preparation for copper plating such as when copper plating steel. Too see more about this reaction you can watch my other video on the topic: https://youtu.be/6CS84Rj8RrM
Electroplating is different from electroless plating in that a power source is used to induce the chemical reaction and there are two electrodes used in electroplating. This nickel plating bath is fast and only requires about 1 minute to get a complete coating of nickel on a part. You can easily provide the required voltage from 2 or 3 AAs or a cell phone charger.
