I think the series of the copper coating steel is

Yt comments don't let me directly link, but you can search in the channel videos for those names.

I once accidentally copper coated part of a plastic pipe fitting when 2 copper wires touched with 240 ac near the pipe, it was plasma coated and look pretty good.

Coating steel with copper is a bit cheaper with copper sulphate solution. Electroplating steel with copper sulphate makes the copper coating thicker on the steel, so thick that you can even polish it with a soft rag or a polishing wheel.

I'll have to search for that video. Very cool way to get the copper look without sacrificing the strength. Thanks Rob.

Awesome! I love the look of copper, brass, stainless and aluminum. Copper fenders and plates look great!

Oh Wow! That is absolutely Awesome 😎 Friend. Thank You🙏🏼 so kindly for making the video and sharing/showing us.👍🏼✌🏼

Great info Mr. Robert! I was just browsing how to electroplate steel. Particularly, my knife guards and GoPro knob screws for underwater footage... Naturally, after which I would plate it with zinc or nickle. This method beats it because I always get rust due to salt electrolyte.
It's always nice to see simplicity in action.
Cheers!

That's intriguing. How thick can you make the copper plating? How well does it adhere to the steel and to itself? It would maybe make a good protective coating for steel left outside.

Bloody fantastic 👏. Yet another one to make. Really interested to see what this can do mate. Thanks

[karltaylor]

Looks like a tidy finish. Thanks for sharing.

I searched through your videos and couldn't find the one where you describe making copper formate paste for plating. Could you link it in the description?

"...let me show you how it works.." a perfect segway to a german voice "... let me show you its features..."

I love your videos mate. Thank you.

Interesting...does it protect steel from rusting? I know galvanized zinc can protect iron/steel but do you have any tricks to do something similar that doesn't involve a super complicated or expensive process?

This is a great looking copper coating, and a much better application than sheet copper or brass. I sort-of wish you'd done the entire frame that way. If you're interested in a verdigris look, I understand that liquid orchid fertilizer spray will artificially age the appearance of copper. I think that the orchid food is acidic, and I'm sure there's probably a simpler chemical way to oxidize the surface.

[herenow]

That's brilliant. Thanks for sharing that great bit of info.
How durable is it ?

[chuckthebull]

this is great, , i have a bunch of copper I want to use for projects but not enough, , this will be a great alternative... I was wondering how resilient this is and does it really bond well with the steel

[AndreaKollo]

This was inspirational!~! I have an antique brass coal scuttle with a fair bit of oxidzation - I have tried every method to clean it but nothing works. I really want to save it and bring it back to life. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank in advance!

Would like to know how durable this coding would be inside of a kitchen sink with hot and cold water constantly being applied to this sink after the coating is done of course the sink is stainless steel I would have to go through the process of preparation but would like to know how durable would this be how long will it last in a kitchen sink Will this be permanent and what is the maintenance. Thank you

[jasonwitt]

That was quick, it was like magic. Copper in a wipe, awesome. Question: can it be made to give a high gloss look as if when you would polish copper?

[weselradio]

what a beautiful blue color.
How would you think this copper coating would work for a ham radio antenna? steel kinda stinks, copper is great, and most rf i think stays on the outside skin. opinion?
