Re: Copy Chrome Question...Please Help

Copy Chrome is good all by its self it is not porous like Chrome because it is a cobalt nickel solution
copper is used if the part will get hot (copper disperses heat) or to help protect against corrosion
I have used Copy Chrome for about a year and have plated many items with out copper or nickel
and have had no problem

I have a couple of steel parts (small), I am going to copy chrome (plug and plate) them...after I polish the parts...can I plate them directly with the copy chrome? Or do they need to be nickled or coppered first?

thanks
