So last night I was overplating. I would wait ten minutes then check them visually. Wen I saw black treaks I assumed that was unplated/dirty areas. Those black streaks were areas of too much I guess.
Today I tried some pennies. The copper background made it easier to visualize.
It plated in about 2 minutes, then started getting black and scaley. I pulled the next one just as soon as it was covered.
Ok so lets try a bolt again
before
I wire brushed it, brake clean and acetone. Plated for about 2 minutes
After
Success!!!!
Lets try something bigger. Random bracket off the VR6
same methods only the plating time was about 10 minutes due to the larger size
It took a few minutes on the buffer to make it shine.
