Starting a part-time business - Great experience with Gold Plating Services
We recently purchased a Universal Plater Chrome Edition and the add-on Bath Plater; they arrived fast and were well packed. We had watched the instructional videos many many times so we had the machine set up very quickly. We wanted to start plating immediately but after reading the Material Data Sheets we decided to invest in eye protection, a respirator, and a rubber apron, the kit came with a set of rubber gloves and safety glasses but we wanted heavier duty PPE. Be warned the chemicals are no joke and proper PPE should be used. After we had it all together we started on the sample wrench that came with the Universal Machine and the lures that came with the bath plater. The equipment worked as advertised, we were amazed at how easy it is! We have since plated coins, a trailer hitch, knives, and a couple of stainless tumblers. The kits came with plenty of solution and it is easy to calculate how much gold it takes per item based on the square inch measurement of the item and amount of time plating. The equipment is well built and functions without any problems. I haven’t had any interaction with the customer service but I am basing my rating solely on the quality, functionality, and ease of use of the equipment. We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Gold Plating Services.
What a great review, Bill! We are so very pleased to hear that you are having such great success. Most of our customers buy the kit and we never hear from them again, except for the orders that they keep placing. So it's really nice to see some great feedback like this. We appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We hope it is helpful to anyone considering purchasing our products. You may be one of those who never needs to interact with our customer service personel. In the event that you ever do need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out, no matter how big or small the issue may be. We are here and want to support you and help you achieve great success! Wishing you a prosperous and rewarding journey with electroplating.
