3 gallon Copy Chrome Kit

Tyler,

Did you try to reduce the current like Jim said as well as anode placement? If it is burns as Jim says reducing the current might help. Also I am thinking of another way to promote agitation. When I have tried copy chrome on tubes I have the dark spots too. That's with plug and plate Copy Nickel. With the regular Nickel (green solution) I did not experience this a much, more shine. Also goldish hue is fairly normal for Nickel process I think?

I can't go anywhere without you trailing me and vice versa, lol.

Wow... Robert is that you... just kidding. How long have you known about caswell? I just found out about them a week or so ago. Anyways, were still working on the perfect shine and it seems to be getting better over time. Just takes a lot of patience. Good luck with your kit and I would love to see some of your results.

I have been studying plating off and on for 6 months or so. I am really fasinated by this science and needless to say it's critical to our type of products. From what I see on your post the lugs you plated look great for just starting out. There's a bit of art to this that will only come with time and experience. I have done a few jobs with Nickel over Brass only on tubes so far. I have not tried aluminum yet but I can see it's tricky. Keep working with that kit and you will have it down pat soon. I will hit your e-mail in the near future.
