Hello George, I was going to have some items professionally chromed until I talked to a friend who restored a Harley and he talked me out of it due to the high cost. I ordered the chrome stripper and copper plate to help my situation. I have to pick up better polishing materials, my Dremmal is to small for the parts I'm trying to chrome. Do you think the plug-n-plate silver could be a better alternative to the copy chrome as far as luster and shine? I have the silver but haven't tried it yet. The Caswell manual is very informative and I should of bought that first, it also makes good bathroom reading like you said! I wish I had the area to use the bigger chrome set-ups, but I'm determined to accomplish my chrome projects on a small basis for now. What size chrome system are you up to? I'm hoping the copper plate will help me out a lot, to cover the pitting and scratches I've encountered after stripping some of the parts. As far as polishing, do you think a variable speed drill with the proper polishing wheels might work, or am I destined to buy a bench grinder/polisher? I'm trying to conserve project money until I get my small system perfected. Thanks, Gene.
