Re: Do I really have to use copper over a nickel strike coat
Nickel (and Copy Chrome) over steel is a perfectly viable option, but you should understand the possible benefits of adding a copper layer.
Copper builds up a thick layer quickly and is very soft. This makes it very easy to buff a thick layer of copper to a high shine. After you get a high shine on the copper, a quick nickel plate will look even better than you've got now.
