Electroplating is an interesting and exciting science experiment for kids and adults alike. Invented in the early 1800's, electroplating covers science fundamentals such as chemistry, electricity and mathematics.
Our Nickel Science Plating Kit can be used to plate nickel over steel, copper, iron, tin, gold, silver, brass and bronze.

In addition to our kit, you will need:
- Nitrile or Latex Gloves
- Eye Protection
- Beaker of Water for rinsing
- Cleaning agent (we recommend dish soap and hot water or Simple Green cleaner)
The kit can be used multiple times. The anodes will eventually be used up (after approx 10 sq ft of plating), and can be replaced.
The Nickel Plating Solution is a mild acid and is quite safe to use. No fume control or face masks are required for use.
