It depends on where you live... In my country, I could spend more than 200 euros if I had to buy the setup you see in this video. I made the magnetic stirrer my self, copper pipes, wire and cables are recycled, my electroforming solution is DIY... in this way I managed to save almost half of the money.

It happens. You need to make your hooks out of a wire of 1mm or bigger, and the loop of the hook should be squared, not round. Also, if you have a magnetic stirrer amzn.to/4eystpS in your setup, you can make the solution moving, so your pieces can move along, and they will never get welded to the hooks.

Hi, thank you for the appreciation!!! You can definitely use glass as container. I've never tested silicone with the electroforming solution but, in my experience with it, I know that it can oxidize metals in general if it's in contact with them for some time. It contains acetic acid, which shouldn't be problematic since the solution itself is acidic. But you need to test it. In my opinion you should just go buy any plastic container made of HDPE or Polypropylene, you can find a lot of sizes and shapes, and it's also very affordable. You can even find something like this one around your house amzn.to/3Z8xLnH With the aquarium tank, I would probably be more worried about any possible leak, that would be a real problem. Also, I wanna advise you not to follow this video for making the connection on the anodes, I have more recent videos of how to make a setup to start electroforming. Follow these videos instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omjIm3uMaLF9l7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCbq4KJe6qrqdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3Paap16ategj9k

@@cuforming Hey thanks so much for the reply ! I'll get a plastic tank and follow the instructions on the more recent video. I'm not in US and I have been trying to get all the materials, would you know if that fabric to make bags for the anodes is made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) ? And that metalic mesh to hold the anodes is titanium right ? And have you tried to electroform with straight silver, no copper prior to it ? The video linked about the voltage is so helpful too, life saver channel !

@@nayararamos6595 It's a pleasure helping you! If you can tell me in which country you live, I could send you specific links for all the supplies needed. Maybe contact me on one of my social media for that. The fabric I use as anode bag is much more affordable than proper anode bags, it's called craft felt (in Italy we call it pannolenci) and as long as it's not made of wool or cotton is good, polyethylene or polypropylene or acrylic or any synthetic fabric is good. The mesh for the anode cage is titanium, there are also made of platinum. Sadly you can't electroform directly with silver, it always needs a base of another metal, copper is the best base metal to plate with mostly any other metal, silver, chromium, nickel...

@@cuforming Awesome thanks a lot, I'm from Brazil. Will send you a message on instagram for sure. Ohh for the felt, I guess I've seen it in craft stores !

@@nayararamos6595 You can find craft felt in textile and fabric stores.

Greazie!!!

Grazie a te! I perni sono in acciaio placcato con nichel!

Thank you!!!

That's very interesting, thank you for sharing it!!! Do you think this will happen on any blue?... Regardless of the substance used, ammonia, vinegar, baking soda...??? Also, this brown/black color appeared and remained after the hydrogen peroxide got dry?

@cuforming I don't recall what I used, but it's ammonia fumes with either a vinegar or ammonia bath sprinkled with salt. It could have been green or blue, and it was dry when I applied the peroxide. It's a small serpent on my wall. It's been awhile.

The water in the solution will evaporate, so you need to cover it. Also, you need to remove the anodes to avoid oversaturation. I personally remove every props inside the tank and cover it with its own lid. You can also pour the liquid in another bottle and keep it shut.

You don't make a new solution, you just need to learn how to adjust it when it's not working properly.

The brand manufacture won't tell you the raw material.

That time I used an American brand: Midas from RioGrande, you can see the bottle at 0:14 . I'm currently using the one from Gateros UK. You can see both brighteners in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/omjIm3uMaLF9l7ssi=QYGOaAI13ctWSGdE&t=113

Thanks for the advice, but I have a lot of homemade liver of sulfur left from all my experiments, I don't know how eggs can be different, it's worth the try. Check all the video where I make it and test the patinas!

@@cuforming Eggs contain sulfur. Egg whites contain the most, but it's worth using the whole egg. I've used them to blacken copper and bronze. Some colors come out at different times in the process, so if you take your metals out of the patinas early, you may get different colors. Even how I've washed pieces prior to patina has made a slight difference in times and colorings. Please make a video if you try eggs. I'd like to see what you come up with in combination with the other elements you use.

@@64t120r I will definitely try eggs!!! Thank you!!! You can see all the color I made with liver of sulfur In almost all my videos and reels, go check them out.

@@cuforming I wil, thanks

I store everything in tanks. I don't flush the copper sulfate solution because it's precious material.

👌

You can try, but you are not gonna get the same details. I think you need to do a little more filling and sanding work.

Thanks for the compliment (which you've edited, I liked that), and thank you for being present on my channel!!! I'm not sure about this method, but I've heard you can oxidize silver with bleach. I don't work with silver, so I've never tried it. You should experiment a little, and please tell me how it went, I'm really curious to know!!!

@@cuformingreally sry for that silly mistake, our dear super scientist sir I will definitely try this trick of yours☺️🌝 and also I have found a hack to oxidize my earrings with the boiled egg's yolk hack. Let's see whether these two are successful or not btw thanks a ton for the reply and idea . you r sharing very knowledgeable and interesting contents keep it up & all the best for ur alll experiment and for the bright future.👍🏻💚 Love from Rajasthan ❤️🙏

Thank you!!!

You can't electroform directly with silver. You can only plate silver on top of copper tho.

OPS 😂 I Love

I'm gonna make a stabilized regulator, the one I made is base on the voltage drop... I need it to be stable... I have the module display for volts and amperes too... I will also try heating the titanium to see what happen... but you have to admit, doing it with electricity it's more fun.

Thank you for your support on this project!!!

Thank you for your support in electroforming in general:) and special thanks for your gorgeous liver of sulfur patina

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I'm glad I've been part of your success. I saw some of your works, and they are coming out fantastically. Thanks for your support!!!

Sorry, too late. You can find the recipe here: www.cuforming.com/tutorials.php

You are not the first one telling me this... some advised to use ketchup, some mayo. It's gonna be fun!!!

@@cuforming I did two copper vases with yellow mustard and they came out amazing

@@thomaskuzia8125 I can't wait to try that!!! Thank you!!!

Grazie per il tuo supporto, really appreciated!!!

Temperature should be between 15 and 30 °C. In this video, I'm just making a demonstration at room temperature. My favorite temperature to work is 25°C.

@@cuforming do you know what makes my mixing behave like this?

@@zngrrr probably the current is too high.

@@cuforming 5v and 2amp

@@zngrrr that's a very high current... you need 0.02 A to every square centimeter of surface of the piece you are electroforming. Watch this video too kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3Paap16ategj9k

As I answered in the other comment, I can paint fresh leaves with my conductive paint recipe. www.cuforming.com/tutorials.php The only thing you must be aware is that they need to dry eventually under the conductive paint coat. During this process, they have the tendency to bent, so you may need to keep them steady until completely dry. With dry leaves it's gonna be faster, they won't bend, and they are good to go in a matter of a few minutes.

In this video the leaves are naturally dry. But, with the conductive paint I use they can be covered directly, even if they are fresh. I have the recipe for sale in my website if you are interested. www.cuforming.com/tutorials.php

Thank you, and what's wrong with the feet?

Thank you for the appreciation!!!

Do you use brightener?

It works only on copper, copper alloys and also silver.

@@cuforming thank you for your fast reply What patinas can i do on steel or copper plated steel?

@@zngrrr You can use this one for any copper plated material. For steel, you need a specific one that you can find easily on the market.

@@cuforming thank you

I'm glad I can help! Thank you!

Is it solid? Try to reboil a small piece, with a little water. And don't use bicarbonate to rinse, just water is good.

You can do it on glass, but you will see the color of the conductive paint on the other side. So it's better to use copper conductive paint or, if you use graphite, to paint the glass first with a copper color paint or silver color like I do in other videos.
