I Tried to Copper Plate Steel… And It Went Terribly Wrong (But Brass Worked!)

I set out to cover plain steel with a shiny layer of copper… and failed spectacularly. But along the way, I discovered something interesting—brass takes copper plating like a champ! Here’s the exact recipe I used for the solution: 60 g copper sulfate 5 g salt 10 g sugar 5 g citric acid 15 g acetic acid (70%) 450–500 ml water In this video, I’ll show the full process, the ingredients, the setup, and all the failed experiments until the final surprise result. If you know what I did wrong, share your tips in the comments—I might try again in the next video!
