Seeking knowledge on chroming my aluminum molds
2003
Hello
I want to do chroming for my aluminium molds but I don't know a single thing about the matter so please tell me how to start with a cheap and easy way so that if I make mistakes I will be able to afford it.
Thank you

If someone here were to ask how to do landscaping, professing that they "don't know a single thing about it", the readers would giggle with how impossible it would be to try to explain such a broad subject in a single posting on an internet forum. This despite the fact that everyone already understands the vocabulary of grass & flowers & trees, and gravel & drainage & shade & roots.
Plating is more complex and less familiar--and the layman doesn't even know the vocabulary. So it is just impossible for anyone to help you this way, Mr. Zreik. You need to get hold of a few plating books, and try to make a trip to a plating shop (I realize that may be difficult on the Ivory Coast) and then hopefully you can ask questions that we can try to answer. Sorry!
