improving the conductivity of surfaces like cavities and inductors for RF
current, as Peter pointed out. That requires at least 3 to 5 times the skin
depth

What controls the thickness of the cool amp?  Can one not repeat the
process to get a thicker coating or does that not work?

If fixed,  do you know what the thickness is? I was wondering if it would
be useful for 10 GHz, where the skin depth is a lot less than at VHF/UHF
