Ted do you have to bubble the acid copper last night we used a pump just to get it moving in the tank and you could see lines across the part.We are looking for help in part of this biz.
Thanks,

Most plating solutions, including acid copper, need good agitation whether it be air agitation, eductors, or cathode rocker. You should be able to get a tech service person from the supplier of your bright acid copper to come in and help you out.
