What happens here

Once the system is assembled and the power supply is set, submerge the prepared, conductive-painted objects into the copper sulfate solution. Allow the electroforming process to run for several hours, or even overnight, depending on the desired thickness of the copper layer. The current from the power supply will cause copper ions in the solution to deposit onto the conductive surfaces of your items. Regularly check the pieces to observe the copper growth and ensure even coating.

Goal: Deposit a layer of copper onto the prepared objects.
