After seeing progress with this part, I did bump the current up again, but did not see any more improvement in the surface finish. The current I had been running at before was definitely too low as I was not seeing the fine bubbles coming off the part. When I turned off the circulating pump, I noticed the bubbles when I bumped up the current. The part with the shiny corners was plated at a current where I just started to see a nice release of bubbles coming off the part. I went 25% higher on the next part without any improvement.

I'll try the nitric acid dip this weekend.

I am using the filter pump that comes with the kit - does that have an internal filter? I don't think so.

Thanks.
