    Default Nickle plate (New rod Build)

    What could I use to remove nickle plate from a reel seat and some line guides ? Needs to be something that is fairly easy to get without having to order & not overly priced... Planing on removing the nickle plate then plating with 18kt gold for a new rod build im gonna start soon...

    Heres a teaser fer ya untill i start the rod & post pictures of the progress..................

    The rod blank itself im building out of black bamboo from japan when it gets here... The guides, fittings & seat are going to be 18kt gold plated, thread wraps are gonna be the goulbrod (wrong spelling) gold and black... The finnished rod will be a 6wt 8ft 2 peice rod with a cigar type cork grip with 3 flies inlayed in it...
