Pressing and plating
Hi Guys
I need to plate and press from lacquers in the New York Area
Any recommendation ?
Thanks
Yann

FYI, most of us have our plating done at Mastercarft in New Jersey.
A lot of pressing plants don't do galvonics anymore here in the US.

I have deciphered the conflation between the Galvanic cell and the Brugnatelli (eletro-deposition) cell. When Luigi Galvani stopped using static electricity for frog-leg bioncs and went for chemical-derived electricity (in the form of the Voltaic pile), he was using copper and zinc electrodes' passive potentials. The chemical redox between them made the frog leg nerve twitch the muscle, just like the static-charged scalpel had done. Since the Voltaic pile used zinc, when one electro-deposits zinc (coating), he might call it Galvanizing. But to be "galvanized" is actually to become like the frog's leg muscle - "brought to action through outside motivation." Meat puppets from hockey stix, running on auto-pilot (you know).... (;....

Verily. it was the _other_ Luigi: Luigi Brugnatelli, who is the father of electro-deposition, which is when a direct current is directed _into_ the cell, rather than pulled _out_ of it.
An important distinction which will doubtless go disregarded, but which is still fun to point out, in case anyone cares...
