Default Re: Need to plate a 55 gal Steel Drum - Suggestions Needed!!!

im thinking it wont be possible to acomplish this in a regular plating bath if one end is open maybe but then you lose volume when the drum is placed inside the bath and if the bottom is still in place without holes then it seems to me like it will be pretty hard to force the drum into the bath closed end first....... wouldnt the steel need to have a flash copper plating applied first,then nickel with gold last?? maybe im missing something??
