Hello David,
It is true that Ferric Chloride will do the same job almost as fast under perfect conditions. With reverse plating it works consistently under any conditions of your enchant. Speed is important it seems, fine details come out perfect and edges are sharp if you stay under 5 minutes. On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 7:14 AM, <dgh2259@...> wrote:
Hello Andreas,
I apologize if I have missed something here, but why are you using "reverse" electroplating and ferric chloride, when the Ferric chloride will do the same job alone? is it for speed? I also note the current you are using is "massive"; In normal electroplating i.e. copper plating, I use less than 1 amp and it achieves the desired results! a rule of thumb being " less amps better finish!" is this also to speed up the process?
Many thanks
David
