I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question, but I need to know before I spend a bunch of cash. =)
I'm looking to plate a couple of large-ish piece of titanium (roughly 13.5 x 9.5, < 1mm thick each: it's the body plates of a laptop computer) and being the lazy guy I am, was interested in the electroless krome kits.
Now, my question is: (and sorry if it's dumb, but this is new to me)
I see that the 1 gallon kit (more than I need, but I want to have some fun!) comes with an 11 x 10 tank - obviously a bit smaller than I need for a 13.5 x 9.5 sheet of titanium. Will I need a larger tank that will fit what I need, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions? I assume I will have to submerge the entire piece at once for even coverage?
Also, the laptop does have some smallish plastic parts which I would like to plate as well - will the Silvaspray work well as a base for these with the same electroless solution?
Again, sorry if these are silly questions: I didn't even know this kind of kit existed until yesterday, and I'm very excited about giving it a shot. Thanks in advance for any help!
