Spotting on the nickel tank
When I go to nickel plate some of my pieces, the pieces will come out with shuffling, or white spots in which I have no idea why because all of my pieces do not come out this way. I was wondering how I can avoid this

Without knowing anything about your base metal, pre-clean and plating cycles, type of nickel bath, it is difficult for us to give you an educated answer. Please advise.

Hello,
Your parts are not well cleaned therefor such coating difference. Why I say this? Because I can see on regular basis when we use bad parts for sampling.

Lots of IF'S.
If the tank is within spec and is not contaminated,
If the part is properly cleaned and activated.
If the parts are run on a proper cycle.
If the plating procedure is proper and is followed exactly, then you will not have any problem.
So, which one are you not doing?
