Thread: CopyCad plating on 62 sq. in. object

  1. #1

    Default CopyCad plating on 62 sq. in. object

    I\'m trying to plate motorcycle hubs and sprockets with the CopyCad kit. I\'m getting a rough dull gray plate. I tried a 700ma, 1.5 volt supply with no change in results. I am not sure if I should be increasing voltage or amps to get desired results. Small items such as nuts and bolt plate fine.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Copy Cad needs 25 milli amps per sq inch of surface being plated. 62 sq\" needs 1.5 amps, so you are under powered by more than 50%
