Masking
Selective plating is one of Epner’s specialties. Skilled artists, in many cases, hand paint with a proprietary masking material in areas to be kept free of plating. In some cases, your part would be plated all over and the masking would be applied to the surfaces we wish to maintain plating, while the rest of the part is stripped. Pull plugs, threaded Teflon and occasionally custom machined shields are all part of Epner’s masking arsenal.
