Description
Experienced electroplaters may use this tank with whatever anodes and solution
they choose, but for people new to electroplating, MG Chemicals offers ready to
use solutions and anodes.

a rectifier is required for electroplating, but it does not have to be powerful.
Entry level rectifiers with a current capacity of 3 amps have enough power for
most prototype pcb’s and other small objects that can fit in the MG Electroplating
tank. Some users may find it necessary to use up to 7 amps, which will plate a
double sided 4” by 6” board, which is about as large as can be used with this
tank.
Plating small boards and objects uses currents so low that the risk of electrical
shock during normal operation is minimal. However, always be wary of the risk
of electrocution when working with open circuits and treat the open bus bars and
solution as if they are electrical hazards. always wear nitrile or rubber gloves
when touching any electrified part of the system. Limit the risk by never using a
rectifier with current generating capacity greater then 25 amps. Hooking up a
large rectifier incorrectly can create a hazard.
a magnetic stirrer is highly recommended to achieve professional results.
It is very important that your magnetic stirrer be of sufficient size so the etching
tank can sit on it without being unstable; the plate should be at least 17 cm by
17 cm. It is not difficult to obtain a magnetic stirrer of this size. Do not use a
small magnetic stirrer intended for beakers, because the etching tank might eas-
ily tip and spill corrosive acids.
If you choose to not use a magnetic stirrer, ensure you have designed an effec-
tive alternative for agitating the solution during plating.
These instructions assume the use of a magnetic stirrer.
