Copper Electroplating Kit - 1.5 Gallon
- Our new and improved copper plating system now gives constant bright copper plating, that requires little to no polishing after plating..
- Copper can be used to 'electroform', making complete objects from pure copper, by simply making a mold from wax & conductive powder, copper plating the mold, then melting the wax. Copper can also be formed over lead molds, and the lead melted away afterwards. This has some applications for the person wishing to reproduce decals. Copper plating requires 0.07 - 0.2 amps per square inch of part surface area. Higher current gives faster plating times. The system plates at 70°F-90°F..
- 1 pint of automotive battery acid (not included) is required per 1.5 gallons of copper plating solution..
- The copper plate can be applied directly over brass, copper or nickel, but cannot plate directly onto steel, pot metal, zinc or aluminum. There are no cyanides in this kit, and its operation creates no waste chemicals or dangerous fumes..
