Default How to Copper Plate Your Luger

I tried the rust removal technique on what I believe were a couple salt-blued parts and got results that were ah interesting on the first try and excellent on the second.

I have a shooter with a blued s-link and decided to remove the blue with the electrical method of this thread. I followed the instructions, including using steel (a screw) for the positive connection. After 5 minutes in the bath, I inspected the part and the blue seemed to be coming off.

To complete the process and improve matters, rather than use a steel screw I decided to use about 2" of copper wire, as we all know that copper is a good conductor. I substituted the copper for the steel screw and let the process go for about 15 minutes.

Before and after pictures below.
