first time on forum, hope this works.
I am plating two stainless steel legs for a bike. Did the etch and activator and flash copper. so far so good. The parts have some very small pits which are only about 1/32" wide and deep. When I go to the acid copper it covers well but doesn't seem to want to go into the pits. I have now built up a heavy layer of copper but still have the pits. Ain't that the pits. I find the copper really hard to sand now that it's heavy. I have a 20 gallon set up with a 25 and a 100 amp rectifier and also 12" X 18" anodes.
I am having the same results as everybody with pot metal. Anybody know a foolproof way to do this stuff or what.
thanks
