Electroplating (or galvanic coating) allows you to plate almost anything with a layer of real metal. But it's a finicky process to get to work. In this video I'll be showing what worked for me and what didn't!
You'll also need suitable containers, anode material, conductive copper spraypaint (mine is a relabeled CRC can, which works well) and electrolytes. Buy these from a trustworthy seller in your region of the world. Please work safely.
