Re: Silvaspray with Copy Chrome
I have used the silvaspray with copy chrome with no problems (on a variety of objects). It sounds to me like the silvaspray is not adhering properly to the substrate.
Are you using the caswell sealer concentrate on your substrate to close pores and provide a good surface connection? I have tried spray on lacquer with poor results. Caswell's sealer works well and is tested for use with silvaspray. Make sure you do several dunks on very porous materials (like wood). It's pricey, but it is in concentrated form and actually goes quite a long way.
While silvaspray accepts copy chrome directly, I also wonder whether the "peeling" you are talking about might be due to shrinkage or some similar effect within the copy chrome process. I usuall do a layer of acid copper before moving on to the copy chrome. If the first suggestion is already being done or doesn't work; you might try this next.
Good Luck!
