I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with information regarding plating non conductive surfaces.

I would assume a silver paint would have to be used to prime the area. For small areas , is the use of a brush advisable? Any suggestions for another material?

Would a conductive grease work as a substrate to plate to?

I only want to plate copper and was wondering if there was any particular type of copper to use (acid copper for instance).

I will be plating a thin coat of copper (thousandths of an inch thick) and eventually running a current through it.

Does anyone forsee any problems with running current through after plating?

Thanks for your helpful suggestions.
