Electroplating

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

Great forum.

I want to make an electroplating unit. I've heard of a material like a copper mesh for an anode. It's more like a copper pipe made with a brillo pad design for surface area. I'm not sure that it exists or where to get one.

Any suggestions
Thank you

I meant cathode.

Is this it?

That looks like it would work great. I guess that I would have to purchase the anodes thru them. I would prefer to make my own.


Thanks,
