Markus,

I am in the process of building a copper plating
station for thru-hole plating. What you are describing
is very similar to the descriptions that I have read
about while researching this topic. Is there a website
with pictures and/or describing what you have done?

I am very interested in how you physically set your
plating station as the chemistry you are employing.


Best regards

Marvin Dickens
