Default Re: Copy Cad still coming out dull grey

I am starting to become a bit frustrated. I took both anodes, and polished them to a completely clean state with scotchbrite pads.

I then use a test piece of steel 6 Sq inches, and plated it at .84 amps, 110 degrees, 15 minutes.

It came out a darker dull grey, that had to be polished to a shine again.

I will try your suggestion of 80 degrees and see what happens. I do have the pump on , swirling the solution around.

I DO NOT pickle the parts, what exactly is this, and I don't seem to recall this step in their plating manual.
Thanks
