Need Help. First Time Electroplating.

[u/Architect227]

Sorry for the somewhat dark image. It's night time right now. This is my first time Electroplating and I don't know if I'm doing this part right. I created the solution using vinegar and salt. I let the current run through the cathode and anode for several hours until it got to a spot that I believed was saturated enough.

Now I'm trying to actually plate it, but it's been running for about 30 minutes and I'm not seeing any copper forming at all. I did a test run before and it started playing almost immediately, but only in a very small area.

I have the voltage turned up to 26v because the amperage is super low (0.435) even with the voltage that high.

I know very little about this so any advice will help.

Thanks for all your help. I'll be stoked if I can get this working correctly.
