Hi!! I want to plate some circuit board lines (copper) with nickel. I have read that etching for 30 seconds in muriatic acid will clean and give a better surface for plate. What does the muriatic acid do for the prep process and does it clean the surface. Thanks --Phil

It shouldn't be neceassary to etch with acid to plate nickel over copper. Just be sure the base metal is grease free (hot water and detergent or SP Cleaner)
