[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 97017, member: 3111"] Electroplating (not electrolysis), works by taking ions from anode and placing onto cathode. Unfortunately you cannot do this with brass. You would have to annodize with brass coloring / die , and using sulphuric acid. It is possible to copper and zinc electroplate. If you want more info on annodizing, PM me. For a couple of small items it is not really worth it for the effort and resorces. But if you really want it or need it, talk to me. Take the offer from Tathradj or someone can post it to you in a letter, even though brass wingnuts will be hard to find. Electrolysis is used for blasting rust off iron in a sodium carbonate or similar. Restoring some vintage item are you? If worst comes to worst, I can smelt up brand new ones, but this would take a month as I am busy [/QUOTE]
