Hello guys i have a question. im plating some small copper pieces with silver to try to lower there resistance some.. i used the dip method with the wand supplied and the 1.7 ps. the problem is that as soon as i dipped the parts they turn a nice silver so i let them sit in the solution for about 1 min which turns the parts a dull gray. after words i polish the parts but it seems the base copper shows through in areas.. to prepare these copper pieces they were cleaned and polished to a high shine then degreased with lacquer thinner and dried throughly and i use rubber gloves throughout.. is the 1 min submersion not enough time? i didnt heat up the solution will that help.... thanks for the help. albie niziolek

Increase your immersion time for a thicker silver plate which will withstand the buffing process.--
