STRIP (REEL-TO-REEL) PLATING :
http://www.l-chem.com/Papers/Reel-to-reel%20%28moving%20strip%29%20plating.pdf
Reel-to-reel (moving strip) plating.
I'm thinking of a copper bandolier which can be plated with Pd or Pt. In many wackers you could offer the cut pieces of copper strip plated with your catalyst of choice to solute in acidic environment, leaving the Pd or Pt as the catalyst behind.
The deposit builds up from zero thickness at the strip entry into the cell, to the final thickness of 34 µm at the strip exit (upper left), for a strip velocity of 0.3 m/s.(30 cm per SECOND!)
This technique will get you :
Micro-scale roughness and dendrites formation on resistive moving strip.
Detailed roughness build-up on sub mm and micron scales RRW (reel-to reel)
Perhaps even Kevlar or any strong carbon strip material could be found to be plated! LT/
