I'm all very new to electroplating and am just getting started doing some brush plating. Now I have forgot to order some activator and was wondering if there is some way I could get the same chemical locally. I thought that if perhaps I knew the actual chemical that these plating co's are selling as activator then I may be able to source the dried compound and make up as and when required. Does anyone know .. exactly what chemical compound is used for activator?
