How much to plug&plate

[customjosh]

I was wondering how much surface area the plug&plate copy chrome could handle. Could steel screw heads be done without copper plating first. Also, can very much copper be built up with plug&plate. these kits are very interesting,thanks Josh

About 10 sq feet.

Yes, you can directly plate steel.

You can build as much copper as required, the more you plate, the thicker it gets.
