As above, suspend the the part in the solution. Even then, you may want to turn it 180deg to get even coverage. You can almost think of it as the nickel hitting it in ‘line of sight’ coming of the anode.
I do my own zinc playing for my E30 project and use two anodes, one each side of the plating bath, and a pump to circulate the solution and agitate the expelled hydrogen away from the part (not entirely necessary, but preferable).
Good work with the DIY setup and having a bash! Just polish it down, give a good clean and have another go.Last edited by Matt@EDC; 03-13-2023, 07:45 AM.
