I’d contact the one drop guys and see who they use. From what I understand it’s a risky procedure. And, Nickel adds thickness, so throws that will be nickel plated are machined with that in mind - bearing seats, etc. ---

I hope to be Nickel plating by Christmas. For now I couldn’t tell ya who does it other than some larger shops. But I’d steer clear of the industrial type places as to they would most likely take little precautions with your yoyo. ---

And nickel plating doesn’t add much thickness. It’s something like 200 microns if I remember correctly. ---

You can get around the thickness problem anyway. ---
