What is the
difference in Electrode Covers?
If you look at a number of the cloth
electrode covers you will find there are generally two types.
One is a sort of a flat surfaced
cloth material. Some call it a sweatshirt like material. Also, it looks like a paint
roller with a short nap, like the types used on flat walls.
What American Gold offers is shown
in the following image.
These look more like a fuzzy or
wooly cloth. This type looks more like a long nap paint roller used on textured or rough
surfaces to carry the paint into the different crevices and portions of the rough and or
uneven surface.
Why is one better than the other?
It is quite simple actually.
As you look at a script, you will
see it is typically not flat. The Cadillac
script a good example of a script
that has a substantially uneven surface. You could say the script is a rounded surface
with tight crevices.
When you are working on a flat
surface, or a fairly flat surface, a flat surfaced cloth works ok.
However, since the majority of the
automotive, Marine and Aviation scripts are made with a substantially uneven surface, like
the Cadillac script, the best choice for all automotive
applications is the fuzzy or wooly cloth. The same applies in general to all brush type
gold plating. The fuzzy or wooly cloth will help to carry the gold so the gold throw will
get into crevices and it will do an excellent job on flat surfaces as well.
Overall, the smart choice is the
fuzzy or wooly electrode cover. That is the type we provide with our Gold Plating Systems
so you start with the best materials to do the job.
To give you an
idea of the dimension of the synthetic electrode cover, we are including a image
of a synthetic electrode cover on a dollar bill.
