3.0 out of 5 stars
This is not a book, but a pamphlet!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hobbyist Electroplating Made Easy (Paperback)
Content-wise, the information is good to excellent, but at only 54 small pages of BIG print, (plus several pages of completely out of place exercises) is disappointingly sparse. However, since this is strictly a "how-to" book with no theory, a little info. goes a long way. Would have liked to see more info on proper neutralization & disposal methods since he is delving into the use of very hazardous and environmentally damaging chemicals such as cyanides and chromates. Users are best advised to avoid these baths unless they are thoroughly experienced with their ramifications. In short, this is a a pamphlet that is a bit overpriced, but contains info that can't be found anywhere else.

4.0 out of 5 stars
To the point information.....,
By Sy (On the Beach, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hobbyist Electroplating Made Easy (Paperback)
How many readers find information on hobyist electroplating extremely difficult to obtain? From my research the answer is many. In the seemingly secretive world of electroplating here you find a no-frills workshop type notebook that contains the information you need in order to progress to the stage of actually doing some electroplating, hands-on. Written without theory to cloud the practicalities of the subject the methods contained here work because they have been determined from practical experience.
This title contains more information than I could find in the past two months of searching the NET for information on electroplating and as a bonus, it works! I also now know how to silver a mirror correctly..(Great for parabolic sunlight concentrators). Just be careful of the effects of chemical toxicity.

A picture is worth a thousand words.,
By Donald W Wahle (Oregon, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hobbyist Electroplating Made Easy (Paperback)
The tips and diagrams on brush plating were worth more than the price of the book. Very helpful.
