Here is what I have seen to be available in the marketplace.....it's what is referred to as Nickel 200....slightly less pure than std. nickel rounds, pure wrought nickel, but nonetheless the same, usually less than 1% impurities, making it approx. 99.0% pure.....whereas nickel rounds are std. @ 99.95% pure, what's the difference I say....check out the pic and tell me if this is what you have seen....probably not the same
.......as for the original reference, nickel 1 x 1 are no different than the rounds and as for bridging, thats just par for the course as for anode mechanics.....if you are really plating volume and have need for concern for your balls, your squares, your 1 x 1's "bridging", you will make sure this is not going on regardless of what type you are using.....blah, blah, blah, you just saved $0.10/lb. and this info was free...pow pow
look at this way.....are you plating Hell's Angel's HD accessories or your mother-in-law's refrigerator shelf???? don't sweat it....if you are concerned with meeting Mil Spec., you might consider receiving a spec. with your anode purchase
