After trying to buy a zinc electroplating kit, and not being able to get the shipment from any shop, I decided to make my own kit, buying the different products and chemicals from different suppliers. I also tried to make my own yellow passivation/dichromate solution without using any Exhavalent Chrome.

Great video. Thanks for making it. Would also like to see a video with only the correct formula. But it's good to see the mistakes to. Judging from what I see it looks like you have a solid electroplating on your items. Also I like the idea that you are trying with safer to use chemicals. I did electroplating years ago and it was an arsenic based solution which I bought from a company , nasty stuff. So I am also looking around at videos for safer products. Thanks again

Thanks for uploading! Very informative video. I have heard that TIN is an old world go-to for brightening nickel plate solutions, perhaps it is worth a test on zinc.

Use pva or macrogol as primary brightness enhancer, additionally vanillin

search for two videos: DIY Bright Zinc Plating and DIY Bright Alkaline Zinc Electroplating. Here in Brazil I didn't find these or similar products, I would like to discover something alternative to replace the brightners used in these videos.
