Default Problems getting nickel to stick...brush kit

I recently picked up the brush electroplating kit to do some of my small gun parts.

I first media strip the parts with aluminum oxide media.
Buff the part to get a smooth finish
Rinse with water and degrease
Then I apply a coat of copper.

So far so good.

After the copper I can't get the Nickel to stick. I've tried brushing and also soaking/dunking. No luck.
Switched to Black Krome, same issue. Won't stick.

BTW, I'm using the power adapter that came with the kit for all process steps.
