Thank you for the info. I casted a 1/2 diameter column of chrome anode, but did not get good results. You can see the anode inserted into the acrylic jig in the pictures. I chose 1/2 inch according to the manual, page 84.
I did not know that I could use stainless steel as an anode. There is no mention of that in the manual. I will try a large disk of stainless or cast anode, diameter 1.5 to 2 inches to plate a 2.290 inch internal diameter.
I did not know that chrome plating had poor throw. I'll try the larger anode and let you know how it goes. If there are any other problems with my setup please let me know.
