Re: Copper plating required even on a copper base?
You can copy chrome right onto copper. I've had a yellow tint problem, and after talking to Caswell, found that the copper seems to "bleed through" the copy chrome. Caswell suggested plating for 90 minutes to eliminate this - I haven't plated anything since to see if it helps.
Despite what the manual states, I've found my copy chrome plates best at 110F. I have used it from 60-110F to find the best temp. A 90F shop would be nice - mine runs 55-60 year round and I have to run heaters.
