Excellent. I think sometimes I lack the patience and try to speed things up too much ... or try to use solution that has sat around for a couple of months.
I'm slowly learning ... gather and prepare everything I want to plate, mix up a new batch of solution, do all the plating in one or two days and throw out the used formula.
Your result were really nice. Only about 70% of my stuff comes out that nice and I end up stripping, mixing a new batch and doing it right the second time
Satisfying isn't it? I have some parts I plated several years ago that have by lying around waiting for installation and they still look great. Specially when you clear/gold chromate them.
