VersatileFuturian Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone have any tips on bending gold plated blades? Specifically the gold plated turbo shakee blades from barlows. The gold plating will bubble up and start to chip off over time. I still catch fish on them but I would like it to look nicer.

cadman Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sorry, but plating is a like a coating, and when you bend it will bubble or crack or chip. The only solution is to plate your blades after they are bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
