HOW BIG AN ITEM CAN I GOLD
PLATE?
This is a question we often get asked because
potential buyers do not understand how the gold plating systems work.
Regrettably a person who does not know may relate the price of a gold plating
system to the size of the piece they can gold plate. The
lack of objective information is what causes the problem.
To help clarify the problem, we want to make
it simple.
The issue is as simple as this. Gold Plating
is an electro chemical process, meaning electricity and chemicals.
The chemicals are carried to the piece you are
working on by a synthetic anode cover. Some companies have other names but they
are all basically the same, a piece of synthetic cloth (or wrapped cotton of
approximately the same size) to carry the chemical to the work surface.
As a side note we refer to an anode wrap but
it is really an electrode wrap. The electrode can be an anode or a cathode
depending on the direction of the 12 volt DC electrical flow. That can get
things confused and is not relevant to the point of the size of the synthetic
cloth cover. .
As a result, it is the size of the synthetic
anode cover that makes the difference since that is the only thing that is
making a contact between the piece you are working on and the chemical and
electricity you are using in that particular step.
The image below shows the synthetic anode wrap
on a dollar bill. This will give you a clear and graphic description of how big
a synthetic anode wrap is and you will understand that you have this as the way
to carry the chemicals to the working surface.
As a result, you will be able to understand
that it is not the price you pay for a Gold Plating system or the so-called
claims made about what you can or can not do, it all has to do with the
synthetic anode cover that dictates how you carry the chemical to the you are
going to work with that limits you.
This fact sort of levels the field of
questions and mystery some vendors may try to claim.
No Gold Plating system offers more than we do.
