SUCCESS!!!! I plated the 4 pipes @ 2 amps and they look great! I raised the temp of the bath to 120 degrees and pickled in #2 instead of #4 for five mins and went "live" into the nickel bath. I still have yet to get A good plate on a single pipe @ .5A. So my question is do the volts matter? Has anyone else tried only one pipe with success? Do the anodes need to be closer? I hope to plate smaller parts in the future and really need to get this down. Any help would be awesome. Thanks, Lance

I am starting to see what everyone means about most platers are bald! This stuff is very frustrating but well worth the end result. Bad part is I'm just getting started. I still have 3 more tanks to go...Patience is key!
