What Are The Disadvantages of Electroless versus Regular Electroplating?
The solution needs be heated to 190°F, so it can be more inconvenient to use. The nickel is depleted from the solution, not anodes, so it will need to be replenished constantly and is more expensive to operate than regular plating. Also, you need to keep track of the amount of plating you do, as the bath needs to be kept at 75% of its nickel content, or it will rapidly deteriorate.
