Default Copper plating a sousaphone bell
Hi! I have a silver plated Conn 20K Sousaphone. I would like to have the inside of the bell copper plated. What would be the best kit to use for this? I was thinking that a plug & plate kit would be too small since the bell is 26" in diameter. Also, is there anybody out that could possibly do this for me if I decide that its too much for me to do?

Default Re: Copper plating a sousaphone bell
The Plug N Plate Copper Kit should work well for this. It may take you a while to plate, and I'd get an extra bottle of solution, but it should be easy to do and give good results.

An immersion kit would be tricky to use for this application.
