copper plate spreads like fungus--normal?
I got my acid copper plating kit working, and am plating a small wax opbject covered in conductive copper paint. the plate seems to go on very sloooowly, starting where the wire attaches to the object and spreading out over the surface from there. 2 hours at 1.5 amps (object is approx 14 sq inches) and there are still bare patches. there are several coats of conductive paint so I don't think it's that. any tips to make it plate more evenly, more quickly? many thanks.
