Acid Copper Electroplating |

Questions about:
Plating baths
- Can I use copper sulfate that is in powder form? I'm not so sure how
to mix it, since the guide I have only deals with liquid copper sulfate.
Holewall Activation
- How many boards can I make with a
bottle of conductive ink I just want to know how long a bottle will last if
I am making boards on a regular basis.
- What is the shelf-life of the
conductive ink? Do I need to
refrigerate the ink between uses?
Plating in General
- What
will the effect be if I reduce or increase the plating current to a value other than
that calculated using your formula?
- Why
are some of the through-holes in my board not plating? Some are partially covered with
copper while others do not seem to have been plated at all.
- Why are my plated boards coming out rough, like copper plated
sandpaper?
- Why is my
plated copper coming out dull? Does it matter?
- How many boards can I plate with a
standard charge of anode material?
Panel Plating
Pattern Plating
- When I am going to pattern plate my circuit
anyway, why do I first have to panel plate the
board just after holewall activation?
- How
do I determine the total surface area of exposed copper when I am pattern plating?
- How
do I account for the area of the holewalls when I am pattern plating?
- Why
are some of the through-holes in my board not plating? Some are partially covered with
copper while others do not seem to have been plated at all.
