Default problems with bubbles

I have just started plating as a hobby and I have ran into my first snag. While plating aluminium with electroless krome, bubbles appear to be underneath the plating. I degreased the aluminium with acetone then zincated it first. What am I doing wrong

Default Re: problems with bubbles

This problem is addressed in the manual and can be solved by aerating the part with larger bubbles from an airstone during plating.
