Want directions for barrel plating of diecastings with acid copper

We do acid copper plating on Zinc die casting components (small). We now wish to plate it in Barrel. Please give some guidelines as existing rack solution formulation cannot plate them in Barrel.

If this is a proprietary bath, your supplier can assist you, D. If not, do you have a copy of the Metal Finishing Guidebook? Getting hold of one would be a good next step.

In any event, you are doing acid copper plating directly on zinc die castings!?
