Default Re: Need prep advice

You should be able to flash copper over the existing copper. I would blast or polish the copper some to activate it prior to flash copper. If you plan on soldering the pits, sand the acid copper off those areas and only put on about a 5min flash copper. If the copper is too thick, the heat differential will sometimes cause it to blister. Good luck, pot metal is a bear.
