On other threads, Chris has talked about his extensive experience in a plant that plated chrome onto car grills for General Motors. I fail to see how this experience relates to the problem that Ian posed, or to LEDs or diode lasers. Well duh... LED's shine on chrome and it looks pretty... By the wa...
