Current Rating For CopyCad

Posted by admin on August 16th, 2010 at 02:35pm

I saw a reply by Lance Caswell to a post in which he said that zinc requires 0.140 amps per square inch. Is this true? Thats a lot of current for zinc plating. I have been using 0.025 amps per square inch with the old CopyCad solution in my small bath and I sometimes go to 0.050 amps per square inch in my 1.5 gallon bath. I get fairly good results and I don’t use the brightener (because it doesn’t work) and I polish everything with a wire wheel and then follow with chromate.

I was thinking about buying the new CopyCad bath but I am concerned that it will require so much current.

Any comments?

Thanks
