    Mark - well i am sorry to know you have problems w/ plating from
    time to time but also i am glad to have company at the same time. i
    do basiclly the same procedure as yourself . 

    ive usually found the spotting to be soved by replenishing my
    soloution then everything works fine. the 14k palladium/white gold
    solder from pm west was used because i did not want to burn the
    diamonds using a high temp plat solder. i plat the high pd white gold
    and have no problems and plat with no problem. do you think there
    could be an oxide that is forming on the surface of the metal ? maybe
    somthing that has a similar nature to the oxide that forms on
    aluminum? 

later goo
