Default Re: copy chrome help needed

Hi guys, am new here, but had exactly the same problems on almost any underlying metal type. After much playing around I came to the same conclusions as Curtis. Flash copper (then lightly polished without going through) prior to CC which gives a better finish straight out of the Tank. A second apparent advantage to the flash copper is the CC seems to throw further onto the copper in tight spots. However still had some issues with the areas of grey haze which also polished out fine. Tried everything and finally got a PH meter and checked my CC mix. It was at a PH of 6! Added a small amount of acid slowly until the PH was at around 3.5 and hey presto nice bright flawless CC. May be worth a check if you havn't already.

Cheers

Mark
