The economy copper will have a machined finish on it and will require polishing with brown, white, red, and blue compounds (in that order) before it's ready to be plated. I believe that the etching plates are in a state such that a quick tickle with blue compound on an unstitched wheel will prepare them for plating. I suggest that you use the copper etching plates.

The etching plates sound more finished, but I wasn't sure if the acid resistant coating made a difference (good or bad). Do you use the “Economy Copper” or the “Copper Etching Plates”?
