DIY Golf Club Bright Nickel Plating Tutorial & Homemade Plating Tank - 2004 Mizuno MP-32 Looks NEW!

In this video, I'll show you how to make a homemade plating tank using inexpensive parts you may already have around the house. Then, I'll test it out on a Mizuno MP-32 with Caswell's Bright Nickel Plating Crystals. As you will see, the results were VERY impressive for my first test run.

You'll see I didn't remove the paint fill because I'm impatient and was anxious to try it, but you should really remove it first using acetone to avoid contaminating your solution. The nickel won't plate into paint, chrome, oils, dirt, etc. so you'll have to be sure to electro-clean like I showed in the Copper Plating video.

The club was polished using the steps I've shared in other videos, then electro-cleaned and brushed with nickel strike before going in the tank.

I played around with the power requirements to get it right. I started with 4.5 volts and 1 amp, but ended up with 3.5 volts and .5 amp for a longer period of time. "Slow and Low" for best results.

Here are some of the parts I have:
