Plate nickel over copper surfaces. Apply copper flash first on non-copper substrates. Essential underlayer for many plating sequences.
The Nickel Plating Pen is one of the most-used pens in the Micro-Metallizer system. Beyond standalone nickel plating, it serves as the standard underlayer that gives gold, rhodium, and other precious-metal platings the durable, well-bonded substrate they require.
Electrical contact restoration workflows (PL-1000C kit) typically apply nickel as an intermediate before the final gold layer. The same workflow is used for connector pin and edge-connector repair across electronics and aerospace MRO.
Apply over copper directly. For other substrates (steel, brass, etc.), apply a copper flash with the Copper Plating Pen first. Heavy-duty variant (PL-1020) available.
