I wish to try someday your methods of how to make this all beautiful things , thank you so much! you are really very great person it seems for sharing all with us ....
Hi Jason, I love your videos as I have just started electroforming and find you are the most informative!!! Question for you though...I noted in one of your videos with your copper tubing sets on either side of the tank that you mentioned 1 set was connected with a negative connection (same as cathode) and the other tubing was connected with positive. I was surprised as I thought both would have been connected +. Can you explain this? Thanks and keep the videos coming. Cheers, J
I’m using vinegar because it’s safer but that’s at best a ph of 3. I’m doing this inside my house. Is adding a little bit of sulfuric acid from a car battery kit ok?
It shouldn't strip at all. Your piece is either not thickly plated enough or you're using the wrong tumbling medium. For jewelry/metal tumbling medium I highly suggest ONLY using a couple of pounds of stainless steel shot mix (various shapes is what mix means) and a dab of dawn soap. Turn your amps down & go low & slow whilst forming if you think it's more of a structural issue of the plating.
Mine come out of the bath covered in a grayish maroon silt. The copper plating Under it is light and seems to not plate scratches. Is that maroon silt normal? Also is there such a thing as too high of a voltage like 12v running at 1 amp?
Hi, great vids, but If my solution goes bright red, then what do i do? A brand new copper plating solution also went bright red so how can i tell how to fix mine if they both look similar? Thanks again for the helpful information.Also when you put the drop of acid copper solution in the cabbage do you shake it in or just leave it? I have no idea sorry, and am new to all this. my copper solution lasted a good 8 months before i changed the copper then supplied it with and ever since it sucks. I heard we had to use phosphorus deoxidised copper is that true or preferred or i don't know because you don't seem to?
Did you ever figure out an answer? I've GOT to know why your solution went bright red! Lol just for being nosey's sake (and now that I've read it can happen, it probably will happen to me).
I have a ph meter but I've just learnt it's possible to make ph-test papers diy ! Amazing !
Good stuff! Use litmus paper strips for testing pH. Cheap and easy.
Thank you. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. And necessary. Please don't stop these great videos.
I'm going to buy your book just because you share so much here...thank you for your generosity!
Oh heck. I really gotta understand chemistry ! Thank you so much 💝
Thankyou from a newbie

You're like the Walter White of jewelry. Thank you!
Man I love you.
Thankyou!

Wouldn't a ph meter pen do the trick ? I have one .

Hi. Jason; I don't happen to have any liver of sulphur. Can I still finish with anything else? Sorry for a stupid question 😸

hey dear,ione quick question when you tumble your pieces does the copper strip off ,like leaving patches on the pieces?.
It shouldn't strip at all. Your piece is either not thickly plated enough or you're using the wrong tumbling medium.

This is very cool

man burn that zerg structure with fire. your ring looks like a hydralisk den
I dont think ill go so far to make my own ph tester when 400 test strips are under 3$
