It *is* possible -- I know people who've done it -- but without a fair bit
of moderately costly equipment, you're not going to consistently get quality
boards out of it.  Dependably getting high-quality plated-through holes
requires precise control of things like solution chemistry and temperature,
plus a substantial debugging process to get the parameters set right.  This
essentially amounts to setting yourself up as a board production shop, at
considerable cost.  Adding copper is a lot harder than subtracting it; there
isn't any basement-bench way of doing it that reliably gives good results.
If you want something that will give you a good board the first time every
time, and don't want to spend a lot of money and effort on it, you need to
pay someone who *has* spent the money and effort.
