I've just bought a copy cad setup from Caswell Europe and I'm struggling.

Got everything set up, tried plating something (a forged steering arm which I bead blasted first and cleaned in warm SD416) and it just doesn't seem to take the plate.

A fine grey foam grows around the piece and the wire it is hanging from, but after 20 minutes or so when I rinse it off there is no sign of any plating on the surface of the object.

There are now some pieces of this foam (looks like miniature lava) floating in the tank.

I'm sure I've done something wrong but can't work out what it is!
I adjusted the voltage to around 1.5 volts which meant a current around 0.5 amps, also tried higher & lower and got similar results.
