Brass plating help needed
I need step by step procedures for brass plating several objects.

Hi, Bill.
Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper. To get an active metal like zinc, which resists deposition, to codeposit with a noble metal like copper, which "volunteers" to deposit, is no mean trick. For practical purposes, it requires cyanide-based plating solutions. Cyanide is an extremely dangerous and powerful poison which is not a good place for beginners to the plating field to start. The way to brass plate a few items is to find a shop in our Directory of Jobshops here or in your yellow pages. Sorry for being negative about this.
