I read in another older thread where a gentleman was using a 3/8" or 1/4" air line from his compressor and basically draping it into his copy chrome plating tank with the regulator on his compressor set as low as it would go.
His findings were that LARGER air bubbles were better then the smaller ones generated by the fish tank style air pumps for agitation, and generated far less splash. I would also like to do this but I can't tie my compressor up for hours at a time.
I was wondering if any of you doing higher volume plating had tried one of the airbrush compressors like the
Model TC-09 which can deliver 1.5 CFM@55 PSI and likely double or triple that at a more reasonable (for our purposes) 10 PSI?
I was going to build simple frames out of 1/2" PVC with say 1/8" holes drilled at 30 degrees along the arms and place them on the bottom of the tanks.
Any thoughts?
