I want to have a play with zinc plating and am finding it hard to source some zinc, sheet or ingot form. Anyone got any scrap laying around or can suggest a source?

Cheers
Chris

Not a bad price at £57 for everything

cheers for the link, not a bad kit but when you think all you need is a bucket, some zinc for the anodes, a power supply, zinc sulphate and come copper wire, £57 is a little steep.
Ive got a bucket, power supply and wire at work, just ordered some zinc sulphate for £5 off ebay.
Don't get me wrong im not expecting superb finish with this method, but for a first timer experiment im not keen on forking out nearly £60
