Tried is and could not get constant results, You really need to devote a lot of time to building a proper rigg and not just a plastic bucket that you get sold.

You need a to keep the solution "clean" and at the right temp the same with the voltage / amps.

Not saying it can not be done but i found it cheaper easier to sub it out like chroming.

Have a look on this forum
