What happens here

Select non-conductive objects to be electroformed. Examples shown include parts of a real honeycomb and pieces of polymer clay that have been sculpted into various shapes like rings. Apply a layer of conductive paint to the surface of these non-conductive items. This paint is crucial for allowing the copper to deposit during the electroforming process. Ensure even coverage to achieve a consistent copper layer.

Goal: Make non-conductive items conductive for electroforming.

Tools and materials

  • Conductive Paint — To make the non-conductive objects conductive, Non-conductive Objects (e.g., honeycomb, polymer clay) Unknown
