This is one of the Caswell

chrome

plating

kits I purchased. Went to

chrome

some parts for my motorcycle and this is a lot of stuff you get in the kit. This is the copy. Chrome crystals. Air pump heater. There is a timer. The greaser. polish cleaner for Chrome uh the pH meter you have to buy separately um temperature gun to check the temperature separately I have to use gloves um wooden spoon Minimized water uh it comes with the two tanks uh I have a heater here right now this is mixed has a blanket to keep warm.

First I'm going to heat it up to 170° and then we're going to add these crystals and we're going to have to dissolve it and age it overnight before I can start the whole Chrome process so I'm going to plug in the heater and get everything ready so now I've plugged it in waiting for the heater warms it up. Definitely, when you're working with any type of fluid, make sure it's plugged into a GFI outlet that way, if there's any kind of short, the fuse will trip and B will trip, so now we're just going to check the water temperature, it's at 27° CS, I need in Fahrenheit so 83.4 and first we heat a hook to 70 before we can add those crystals so we'll wait a little bit.

The water seems to take a long time to heat up so I added both heaters and it's about 105° now only 65 more degrees to go to get the temp up pretty close we need 170 it's almost there and then we could add those crystals and start mixing here, we are just mixing the solution and the purpose of this is to heat up to 170° this way The crystals and the bag dissolve faster and before it had some huge clumps and it seems to be all dissolved now it looks like Kool-Aid, but don't drink, this will kill you, so tomorrow or the next day we'll get into Chrome and the parts and see how well this works.
