Activating The Exposed Nickel Plate |
Steps |
|
|
|
In this step the exposed nickel surface is electrochemically activated. The emblem is given a negative charge relative to the activator solution carried by the "woolly" sleeve on the blue handle. The activator solution makes the nickel surface highly active and removes any oxides that could affect adhesion of the 24K gold plating. This is a quick step that only requires the technician to cover the entire surface at least once. Our procedure specifies that the entire surface is covered at least twice to make sure we have activated the whole area. |
