And expensive too, in addition to the fact that you get stuck with buckets of hazardous waste in your garage or shop. They do work - don't get me wrong - they work! You'll just spend more in your initial investment, plus tremendous amounts of your time, to get the results you can get from a local plating shop. Anyone want to buy their CopyCad kit and Hard Chroming kit? Both kits have been used maybe twice before I realized how time consuming it was and how much waste product is generated that has to be disposed of. These kits are a waste of time!
