Default Re: Copper plated ripples

How long were the items in for? Acid copper (copper forming) grows nodes and ripples as it plates, which get worse the longer the item is left in. This is unfortunately just a side effect of Acid copper which do need to be sanded/polished out prior to the next plating step. Moving the bubbler around may reduce this. I normally bubble from the bottom centre of my tanks for all my plating tanks.

Cheers
