I have beeen doing some simple copper and nickel Electroplating.
I would like to do some brass plating also but all of the formulas
I find include some form of cyanide.

I tried a couple of plating solutions using tartaric acid or oxalic
acid as a complexing agent but the results were not good.

Does anyone know of a good substitute for cyanide that would give me a
nice even plate ????
