High Quality (and Safe) Copper Plating

Can I plate [insert your metal here] with copper?
It depends. Certain metals are compatible with copper plating, while others are not and are known as "dissimilar metals". The included compatibility table from RFI indicates which metals can be safely plated together. A smaller difference in magnitude (absolute value) suggests greater compatibility. For incompatible metals, you may need to plate with nickel or another metal first. For example, aluminum should have a nickel coating before copper plating.

How do I plate non-conductive objects?
To make non-conductive objects conductive, you can use conductive paints, conductive glues, or metal leaf as long as they are not water-soluble. I haven't explored this much myself, so I
