Abstract

The modified stylus presented consists of a half cell made from a glass tube. The design has two major benefits: the glass tube forms a reservoir which allows for continuous plating without the need to replenish the electrolyte, and the tip of the stylus can be tapered to a fine straight or curved point, allowing plating of intricate work. If required, a wide-bore stylus is also effective.
