Default Re: 3 gallon Copy Chrome Kit

Jim,

Thanks for the info. I finnally got a perfect smooth chrome look. I was leaving the part in the copper bath for 15 minutes and then I switched to 30 minutes. I was also only leaving the part in the copy chrome bath for 15 minutes and then switched to 1 hour in the copy chrome bath. The results are a very shiny smooth chrome look. Only problem I have now is that there are dark deposits or streaks on certain areas of the parts. I haven't figured that out yet. My question is why are the dark deposits located where they are or are they just random. Now if I could only get a part to come out with out any dark deposits I would be a true plating master. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

I'm wondering if the zincate isn't getting all the way eaten off when I put it in the copper bath and its comming through the copper when I copy chrome it? I am stumpped.
