Caswell Plug N' Strip Chrome Stripping Kit

The great new way to strip chrome from small parts Now you can strip chrome off small parts without having to purchase a large stripping setup. Our Plug N' Strip™ kit will easily remove chrome layers from any part by simply plugging in the power supply, attaching the wand, dipping it in the solution and brushing over the part. Note that this will only remove the thin layer of decorative chrome on small parts (under 10 sq inches). It will not remove the nickel or copper layers that are part of a Triple Chrome Plate, common on most decorative chrome plated items. It is very useful if you want to remove the chrome layer and then replate with another metal, such as brass, bronze, gold, copper etc. This is because once the chrome layer is gone, which cannot be plated over, it exposes the nickel layer that is underneath the chrome, which can be easily plated with most other metals. The kit features our regular 4.5V Plug N' Plate™ power supply, but with the connections reversed, so that the wand attaches to the negative lead, rather than the positive. When stripping with the system, you will see a brownish stain appear on the bandage. This is the chrome being removed. You should continue to brush the part until no more brown appears on the bandage. It can be difficult to differentiate between chrome and nickel, so this is a sure way to know all the chrome is off. Change the bandage periodically so that you can keep checking. If you do not see any brown on the bandage, it is likely that there is no chrome on the part at all and that you are probably looking at a nickel plate instead of chrome. If you want to strip a Triple Chromed part down to bare metal, you will also need to strip the nickel and copper layers. We offer several strippers to do this, but you could also use abrasive methods such as grinding or sandblasting.
