Re: Restoring plating

Caswell sells brush plating kits that can be used to touch up various platings. They have one for "copy chrome" iirc that is not a true chrome but a shiney nickel intended to match as best they can.

But the plating goes on very thin. It is best for cosmetic touch ups. It would not last long on key touch areas.

I have dabbled in using these kits for sax mouthpiece plating and touch ups. Using a tall glass jar, you can even rig one up to do a dip plating job. It was fun to see what can be done with a small set up. But in the long run, it was more economical, and I get a better job, by sending out mouthpieces for replating.
