ABSTRACT:
An apertured plating mask having a polyurethane layer thereon to enhance the sealing thereof to a metal has been provided. The plating mask has a substantially smooth layer for contact with a metal as well as a polyurethane covering of the inner perimeter of the apertures of the plating mask whereby definition of selected areas for plating is enhanced. The apertured plating mask is fabricated by a unique molding process wherein a fabricated mask blank is positioned in a mold member, polyurethane is poured through and over the mask blank, cured and treated in the mold member to provide the apertured mask with a polyurethane layer having a substantially smooth surface. Also, a process and apparatus are provided for plating selected areas of a metal wherein a metal is contacted on one surface with a rubber-covered rigid plate and on the opposite surface with an apertured plating mask having a layer of polyurethane with a smooth surface thereon. A plating solution is applied through the apertures of the plating mask to selected areas of the metal as defined by the polyurethane and energized to provide the desired plated area.
