Hey /diy/, I was looking into electroplating for a retarded autistic project I want to undertake, and my research so far is showing that doing actual brass electroplating would be sorta untenable for me, but then I ran into this sort of brass coating thing.

Basically you heat the steel up fairly high (I think about 1,100 F, 600ish C) and then use a brass wire brush to on the steel, gradually layering on more and more brass as you go.

Has anyone ever tried this? How well did it work for you? Do you think it would work well on small items like pocket watches or small features like engraving very well?

Why dont you just get 60/40, some flux and just slather brass on and let it wet out?
The electroplating idea seems weird to me, wouldnt different constitutens transfer differently and you might just end up with a layer of copper or so?

I'm a guy with big dreams and limited working knowledge unfortunately, so much so that I don't know what any of that is.

had that happen on accident when de-rusting thin sheet stock
