DIY Electroplating ~ Best Part Shape and Orientation Guide

This is Larry, Larry watches a KZbin video without providing feedback in the comments. Larry doesn't do KZbin right. Don't be like Larry!

What am I doing wrong, Made copper solution using 30% vinegar and distilled water copper and anodes. Experimenting with stainless eye bolts and nothing sticks. Nickel appears to work, even tried copper over nickel. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Good stuff. For those interested in the pdf linked in the description, the document is available by using the wayback machine at archive.org.

Thanks for sharing. If I have a copper strip is it worth bending it into a rough contour of the part to improve the evenness of the deposit?

[@GarageScience]

If there are significant changes in the shape of your part (ie. Protrusions or sharp bends) then I would say it's worth making your copper electrode roughly follow the shape of your part. There are many other factors that I will talk about in future videos too, there are aspects of the chemistry and bath construction that affect level plating. Thanks for watching!
