Re: Too much current!
First of all, let us know what type of metal you were reverse plating, please.
Hopefully, it wasn't pot metal, although you shouldn't have been plating that anyway.
Check the section on using a robber, and make one out of some sheet copper or steel. It should be at least 6x6" and you need to corrugate it in 1" bends.
The PLATE it, make sure you are in plating mode + to anodes, - to corrugated robber.
Hopefully, after about 1/2 - 1 hr, you should have plated out any contaminant. Then filter the solution and try plating something decent.
With LUCK, you should be fine. If not, repeat the process a couple of times.
