Re: copperplating
It is not advised to plate acid copper over steel, since you will have a copper immersion plate that lacks adhesion. You can coat the steel with a cyanide copper strike bath, then plate the hard copper over this layer. The concentrations of the copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, and hardening additive should be determined by your chemical vendor.
