Having problem plating on polyester

January 12, 2008

Hi , I am Seyyed Mohammad Jahed, and I have experience plating on metals.my job is to make arts and statues.I use silver as the material, but I recently decided to use polyester.
But I don't know how to plate polyester because its not conductive.
I am free to any suggestion.
thanks

Please see our FAQ on plating organic materials. It introduces the various technologies that are used and may enpower you to go on to choosing a technology and then posing more specific questions. Good luck.
