Hi,,,Chrome is pourous,,if plated over steel it rusts,,as in baby buggy wheels,,,Chrome over copper, copper will corrode,tarnish from pourus chrome,, and I think there is a adhesion problem on chrome/copper,,,the nickle seals the copper, and chrome over nickle works OK,,,I mention the chrome only to give the overall picture,,,Nickle has a nice luster BUT the tarnish sticks on awful,,so put on vasolene or? to help keep it from tarnishing,,,Hope this helps,,,someone may describe this in a more orderly manner,,,,Cheers Ben
