New to the site, and looking for answers.

Hello. I recently aquired some chromed and nickel plated cast iron. Unfortunately, they are no longer in pristine condition. #4 Griswold, #10 Griswold, Wagner Combo Cooker. How do I reseason them? I use a lye tank, e-tank and vinegar bath. Im looking to preserve the plating as best I can.

Look under the home page drop-down menu "more cast metal ware", the menu "plated finish ware" for some info on re-plating. It isn't much, but it is sound advice.

Replating isn't typically cost-effective, and it doesn't sound like that's what you're asking. Compromised (loose) plating may be adversely affected by electrolysis. Clean them as you would with the other methods, and apply a seasoning to bare iron areas to seal them against rust.

More on the lines of using them in their less than perfect condition, and seasoning as such. Apparently my pictures are to big to upload? There is very little info indeed!

All you can really do is season the bare spots like normal. Like Doug said, I think it would be best to not strip it.
