Need brazing material /filler that can be electroplated

I have a problem to find a filler or brazing material to be added on aluminum casting; this material must be a metallic material since end product of this aluminum casting is nickel-plated. I've tried using such pastes but I guess it's non-metallic since while electroplating it creates a white spot on that filler area (which it means that the filler is not working with the nickel plating). Could somebody give me advice?

Hi, Danny.

Lab-metal ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] is recommended in thread 1605; All-Metal ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] is recommended in the same thread. Both probably require additional treatment like zincating before nickel plating. Good luck.
