I bought your 1.5 gallon flash copper kit - it works GREAT - I am VERY happy with it. I plate pieces of 0.020" 6061 aluminum, each piece is approximately 20.5 square inches of total surface area. I have done about 10 so far.
I was wondering how many square inches I can plate before I need to replace my solutions, and which ones would need replaced? I need to plate about 100 of these aluminum pieces... I am using the first anode and it looks fine. The zincate is still working great after the first 10 pieces.
I want to know what I am likely going to need to replace and when so that I can order the chemicals in advance so that I dont run out of copper plating ability in the middle of a batch. Any rules of thumb on how many sq-in's the 1.5 gallon kit can plate and what will need replaced at that point?
Thanks for a great product. I have your anodizing kit too - great stuff!
