Bath Plating (1 liter Setup) Procedure Chart
Plating with the Jewel Master or Single Auxiliary Units

The plating voltages and times suggested below are a starting point based off our experience with the solution. We recommend starting at the lower voltage and working your way up. Starting at too high of a voltage can result in burning or damaging your piece.
The voltages and plating times can significantly differ depending on what the type of metal you are plating onto and how much surface area is submerged in the beaker.
