Oh, another question...
I've been buffing with rouge between plating steps (both by hand and in the tumbler). Getting the stuff off is difficult! There always seem to be spots where I think I've gotten it all off, but I obviously havent... as the next plating step will show. I even have a few nice, obvious fingerprints that show really well through the next layer of copper
How can I be sure to get it all off? I've been using a dtergent soap, as the SP degreaser doesn't seem to even touch it. I'm getting to the point of just deciding not to use it at all. The parts I'm plating are tiny and intricate enough that even a toothbrush is a slightly oversie tool...
