Default Mixing the pickle Baths
When mixing a acid bath. Is the amount of acid used measured by weight or fluid oz.?

Thanks Tim

Default Hmmm :-)
You're welcome Tim...it's IMPORTANT to know that difference.

Also...be sure to add the Acid to the water...NEVER water to acid...and stir well while slowly pouring it in...avoid splashes.

Which part of Ohio are you from?

I wish you great success in your plating and all you do.

I'm from North Canton. I started using Caswell's Copy Chrome kit first and then I moved on to Acid Copper. Right now I'm having great results so I don't plan on moving on to Triple Chroming anytime soon. Thanks again for your help.
