@BradMeehan Жыл бұрын
The acid removes the rust, etches the underlying metal to make sanding easier, and helps with the chrome removal without touching the nickel under it. You'd only have to do it on the carbon steel irons that have rust - not a stainless club. I cover the numbers so I don't sand them down too much. Once the letters are gone, they're GONE so protect them any way you can. If they're deep, then you can get away without taping them.

It can be shined, but the the chatter won't be removed unless you sand them away. Then, you risk the chrome plating being removed. So, unless you are going to replate them, I'd just shine them up and and enjoy them. I'm doing a video soon on Electroless plating, which will greatly simplify the plating process for everyone.

Now I just look for single clubs that look interesting to me - things with interesting shapes, fonts, textures, club faces, etc. The worse, the better. It's like a challenge for me to see what I can do to it. I encourage you to try it at home. It's really quite simple stuff. Please share your favorite videos with your golf friends!

Thanks! Totally honest. The first video I watched of yours (MP32s) blew me away and I was looking immediately looking at stuff in your products Amazon links to get started. I have most the tools, bench grinder, etc, but need that electroplating setup. (Also I’ve been searching my local thrift store for old irons to collect) As soon as I start I’ll be sure to send you some pics and tag you. I am curious, I think I noticed that in older videos you did the grit blast after plating. But in this one you seemed to do that first and then plated. Is there a specific reason or is there not really?
@BradMeehan Жыл бұрын
@@iamjPerry Thanks for the support on the Amazon store. I am going to be testing Caswell's electroless plating kit, so hold off on the purchasing of the set up. This may make it even easier. I ended up chipping some of the plating off when i blasted after, so i do it before now. The quality is the same and I don't have to worry about ruining my club by blasting away a chunk of nickel. I'd recommend doing it before.

Hey Brad, I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos and it’s inspired me to give it a try on an old set of amp-32’s. Quick question…are you also sanding and buffing out the dings/scratches on the club face as well or just the surrounding areas and then blasting the face for refinish?
@BradMeehan Жыл бұрын
I do a little touch up before blasting it so it looks even. Some say you'll dull the grooves, but as a bogey-ish player, I've never noticed. The blasting does mask the imperfections so if you're not too concerned with picture perfect all around, you can skip it.

Do you ever touch up a club after you plate it? I just did my first wedge with your set up and have a few nicks and spots on it. Also, I notice a ton of fumes with electro cleaning, nickel activating, and the chrome plating solution. Do you wear a mask at all times or do you ventilate it?
@BradMeehan Жыл бұрын
I'm in a well ventilated area, bit I don't really see fumes. I notice mist from the aerator. But, yes. Use a mask and gloves. You can do some touch up after But I'd use nothing more than white compound. I usually give it a final buff with green compound on the cotton wheel right before I film the last scene.

@BradMeehan 11 ай бұрын
You don't need the belts. It's just a time saver. You'll learn WAY more if you do it by hand. EVERY screw up was because I over-did it with a power tool. Sand paper is the way to go. Also, my answer comes from the perspective that you want to do this because its enjoyable, you want to chill out in the shop, sip something cold, and listen to music, versus doing mass production work. If you're doing this as a job, then you can invest in the belt sander. Otherwise, you'll get more satisfaction knowing you did this by hand.

You can do most of this with just sandpaper until you get to the electroplating. There is an expense to that (the nickel crystals, the anode, the power supply).

15 minutes or so. Don't forget to dump out the hosel of the liquid. I'd do it in the garage or an open area. It's not worth doing more than one because they start to oxidize right away. One at a time is best so you can do an assembly line of polishing one while plating the other.

That is called an 'anode bag'. It's just a muslin cloth around the anode to keep contamination out of the solution. The black thing is a fish tank heater.

There is also a fish tank aerator that I always use to keep bubbles from sticking to the club and to move around the solution.

Thank you. Yes, it will eventually go through the chrome and there's really not a good way to know when to stop.

You could do that, for sure. It will give it a texture that contrasts with the shiny sides and still look good.

It's tough. Check out this video where I try to remove it. There's a product called reprochrome you can use that's more durable using the same method, but you can just stick with nickel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8pzZrSJ1pqto4E.htmlfeature=shared
