Then you don't need a manual, you need a chemical engineer experienced in plating. There are proprietary compounds in most plating solutions so it goes beyond just mixing an acid with a metal salt. It boils down to trade secrets and time consuming testing of various compounds. Caswell's plating manual gives very detailed instructions on how to use the chemicals they sell. Using other chemicals would not give you the same results.

Would you use a Corvette manual to work on a Ford?
