A flash or strike plate is when you plate something with a metal first, so that it can be plated with another metal. E.g. a nickel strike over steel, so it can be plated with acid copper.
A bright plate refers to the final plate you give something, that you want to appear bright.
Our regular copper plating system uses acid copper; you have to add battery acid to the solution.
Our Flash Copper is an alkaline system, meaning that it's safe for metals that would corrode in an acidic bath, such as Pot Metal.
