i also read it.. is really no funny stuff...

but remember that a big amoumt of chemicals is known to may produce cancer and is still used.

i don't really need plating and i also won't get the stuff here so it is not of much interest for me.

i i need plating, i would need gold plating for pcb edge connectors.
this can be done by electroplyting (but you have to primer the copper, gold on copper isn't good.

simply connect all the wires on the lower side of the connector and when plated cut this strip (and the
connection) away.

regards
stefan
