Alfred,

As a 'schoolboy copperplater', we used to use Copper
Sulphate (CuSo4) - was cheap & readily available.  Is
Cu chloride preferable, or much of a muchness ?

P.S.  Read of technique in 1930's Hobby magazine for
copperplating wooden bits for modelmaking, e.g. model
ship building.  They just rub the wooden in graphite,
wrap a wire round it, & plate it as normal.  Haven't
tried it, but is just another variation on a theme
pretty well covered here already.

Cheers,

PhilC.
