flash copper on pot metal
After polishing a pot metal part, I plated using flash copper by brush plating. This was to be a strike coat for copy chrome. After plating flash copper, are you supposed to buff to a shine, or directly proceed to copy chrome? I attempted to buff the "smutty" surface, using white on a loose cotton wheel, down to a smooth copper shine, only to watch the smut AND the copper disappear. Any suggestions?
