The medallion is duplex stainless steel per Murat. This matters for plating process apparently so keep it in mind.

Well, not on purpose!
There was some remaining residue, but the resin did not appear to have attached well to either the medallion or handle (480 usually adheres pretty well to most metals). I've let Murat know, because I think it's likely to happen to other users. It's a pretty tight fit, so I'll be interested to see the results of your plating - SS requires an undercoat of nickel before plating, and the plate adds an additional layer. Just eyeballing it, I think there should be enough room for both, but will be intrigued by your results.
