Default Re: Copy Cad still coming out dull grey

Sean,

Ok, now I've got it. I brought home some nitric acid, mixed up a 1% solution and dipped the part that I had previously plated (showed in previous pictures). Immediately upon immersion in the nitric acid solution I could see the finish of the part clarify beautifully! I was going to take a picture, but it looked so great wanted to see the chromate result. After the chromate dip it looks just grand (see attachment). Thanks so much for your help. I think I have my process setup now. I've got to clean up my work area and get things organized to start cranking thru the parts now.

Geoff
