Default Copper plating required even on a copper base?
Hello,

My parts are copper and I will be plating with either nickel or copy chrome. I was wondering if you have to copper plate even if your base is copper? I can put an excellent polish on my parts. Also, should I nickel plate prior to copy chrome?

I guess I might as well ask about environment as well since we are here lol. I am in South Texas and it is hot and relatively humid. If the shops 90 degrees will that adversely effect the copy chrome?

Thank you for any advice.
