    Fantastic equipment

    I have never electroplated in my life, your guide to properly cleaning and wetting is stellar. There is no way I would have been able to learn to electroplate without it.

    Good Quality Setup

    Haven't used it yet, but the quality of the equipment is very good, not junky or garage made kits like others. Just waiting on more solutions I had to order after the fact. Product is good, customer service is leaving something to be desired. I think they know what their doing, but brush you off with canned emails and links. Time will tell. But as for equipment and setup, 5 stars all day.
