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.

I think I have this patina from my father. I thought it was liver of sulfur but it is written it sulfur and caustic soda. So this must be it. Unfortunately I have a lot of problems with it. I tried some of the online recommendation. I heat up the bronze sculpture, apply it, let it work for a while then wash it off and use a wire brush at the end. Some have told me to put it in a bicarbonated water and I’ve done that too. The thing is I end up with small dark stains on it and also with what looks like white salt flakes. I don’t know what to try anymore

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.

Doesn't this solvent corrode and ruin the rubber rings inside the airbrush? You have to be careful what you use, it can destroy your airbrush over time, and if it's not a generic brand airbrush, but a good imported brand airbrush, ordering repair parts can be complicated.

i dont understand what im doing wrong, i set my power supply to c.c. i plug in my numbers(497mmsq) and turn that into cmsq so for medium i would do 49*.02 and that gives me .97 amps. yet, when i try to plate something at that amperage after five or so minutes the entire thing is covered in a poofy mushy red substance, almost like clay.
@cuforming
@cuforming Ай бұрын
To convert from mm2 to cm2 you have to move the comma twice, it means that 497mm2 = 4,97cm2. So 4,97x0,02 = 0,0994A... so you need to go around 0,10A not 1A. You were using a lot of current for a small piece, that's why it was literally frying in the tank. Before you try again, filter your electroforming solution to remove those impurities.

@@cuforming I think there is a video of yours that comments on how to calculate the area and electrical current for the process, as I am lazy and bad at mathematics, I am trying to find programs that can automate this work. What I found that might be useful, is a free program that measures areas using images. I'll leave you here the link to the program that might be useful, if you're curious to take a look. It's called "ImageJ" I lived in Japan for a long time, and I returned to Brazil, my home country with only 200 dollars in my pocket, I had a slave life in Japan, a lot of suffering, 26 years of life that wasn't worth it at all, and now I'm here in my country is unemployed, I have to make a difference with my last 200 dollars that I have left, and the only thing, the only way that I see now is certainly the Electroplating method, therefore, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the knowledge that you shared with the world. From the ashes, I will create wealth to live free from slavery again, the fight for freedom, the fight for economic independence, what is not lacking in my country are precious stones, bird feathers, animal bones, seeds and an incredible variety of plants. There's no way it won't work, the only answer to living free is certainly Electrolysis, Electroplating. Thank you very much for the learning opportunity and all the knowledge, I will look for methods to make the work easier, and when I find something useful I will bring the links here to make your work easier.

How do you calculate the need for precisely 32 ml of sulfuric acid (37% concentration) for 4 liters at 2:42 (that is to say, 8 ml per liter)? To make bright acid copper electrolyte, the usual mass concentration of pure sulfuric acid is 50 to 60 grams per liter of electrolyte. Pure sulphuric acid has a density of 1.83 kg/l, so if you use acid concentrated to 37% by volume, you'll find 10 times the values you recommend. The amount of copper sulfate pentahydrate is correct.
@cuforming
@cuforming 2 ай бұрын
This is the lower and safer quantity (8ml per liter of water) to make the electroforming solution. You can add up to 150ml of 37% H2SO4 (per liter of solution), but it depends on what you need to do, and the kind of additives you are gonna add in it. If you wanna use a different concentration, such as 98% H2SO4, you can use the converter I got here: www.cuforming.com/sulfuric_acid_converter.xlsx

Hey man been watching your stuff and pop in from time to time.

I'm wondering though, how to store the copper sulfate solution? You mentioned plastic #5 for the setup, though I can't find a large enough jug that is plastic #5. Could I instead use plastic #7 as storage? Thanks in advanced; keep up the cool stuff.
@cuforming
@cuforming 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for your support! To store electroforming solution and almost anything else, you should use Polypropylene which is #5 and Polyethylene which is #2. The number #7 is other plastic, which includes a lot of different kinds... so No! #2 and #5 are the best, you just keep your solution sealed to avoid water evaporation and dust to go in.
