Plating small parts

[Matt Harwood]

I have a large pile of nuts, bolts & washers I'd like to plate using my Copy-Cad kit. Would it be possible to plate them all in a bunch by putting them into a metal basket instead of hanging them individually or in a metal strip? I could agitate the basket occassionally to insure that all the surfaces get exposed to the electrolyte.

Just a thought.

Yes, but the basket will plate also and needs to be included in your surface area calculations.
