I have the triple chrome plate 4.5 gal setup. I started this project following the manual and video. I used a 1/2 inch X 5 inch long copper pipe as said in video. I setup the nickel and chrome tank first to plate the copper pipe. The nickel came out good, so I polished it and cleaned it off with soft scrub and done the water break test, passed.
So I put it in the chrome tank with 8 amps current, o yea, I have a 50 amp rectifier.
I left in in the tank for 2.5 to 3 min, bubbles all around it and power leads hooked up correct, then pulled it out and it did not plate. I tryed it again for another 3 min. and it just plated the bottom 1/2 inch of pipe. I turned up the amps to 12 amps and the part plated but was dull, Newbe needs help please.
