Copper on non conductors (e.g., glass)
I'm very new to these concepts. I read on this site that one could plate copper on non-electrically-conducting materials, but there are no comments on this process in the descriptions of the do it yourself copper plating kits. I'm also puzzled how an electroplating technique involving electric currents could be used to plate metal on a non conductor. Is there an electroless process that deposits copper? Can electroless Nickel be used to plate on non conductors? Do these metal films stick to glass? Sorry for the many questions, but thanks for the answers.
Best regards,
Tom
