I found the answer to my question and it is 10 ML. PER 2 QUARTS OF ELECTROFORMING SOLUTION. I Found this in his other video on how to make the electroforming solution. Thanks, Doug A.
Jason, thanks for the vids. How much of the glycolmix do you add to how many gallons of plating solution ? I have watched this vid 6 times and did not get the amount of the glycolmix to add to say 1 gallon of plating solution? = very needful information. Thank you again, Doug
Thanks for the glycol tip - appreciated! ! ! I love listening to a person that understands there are old folks like myself that do things "just for FUN".....
Great video… but a couple comments. First, “glycol” isn’t quite right. What you’re using is PEG ie poly ethylene glycol. The “3350” designation refers to the average molecular weight of the PEG. Essentially, it refers to the length of the polymer chain. The second comment refers to the basics of weight and measures. “mL” refers to liquid measure. You’re weighing a powder… you need to go with gram measures. It’s more predictable and will yield better results. Finally, try sodium saccharin… yup, the sweetener is a brightener! 👍
Thank you for this explanation! I also found out about sodium saccharin, but am curious like @MegaNostr what kind of ratio would be reasonable. Started going through some books on plating, and searching through patents for commercial plating baths, to try to get some info. I'll eventually figure it out, but if you have any loose recommendations, it would be nice to hear!
So I am a tad confused. In the electroplating video from 2019 he says its a leveller and still uses Midas. For this electroforming video he says its the brightener. So confused
I wonder if its worth the trouble of adding some sulfuric acid to this brightener, the commercial stuff has it. I imagine after filtering the bath so many times and refilling with DI water you dilute the solution and change the pH to some extent. acidifying the brightener could be helpful for the longevity of the bath. 4 mL H2SO4 in 100mL brightener solution would be the same ratio as the bath formula i saw somewhere.
Hi Jason, It is my understanding that Saccharine is A Class one Brightener. I haven't tried it yet so cannot say what quantity to use or concentration , it is a start though to undermine those that withhold this sort of information.
Hey Jason! Thanks for the video! I'm falling in love with all this stuff and planning to start it next year.. I live in Germany, and I think there are 3 or 4 people electroforming jewelry here.. So, we don't have the commercial things here.. That's why I'm so thankful for your videos! I have a question about this one.. Could you please tell me how to do the recipe with your self-made brightner? Or is the same recipe from your big electroforming video? I have so many other questions.. about the basics low budget starter things.. Can I polish an electroformed piece with a dremel or I have to buy the big polishing machine? I'm very grateful for your videos.. I might tell you someday why.. Well thank you!! Blessed be. 🙏
I could say that You push me into the electroforming. One week of watching your videos and I am waiting for all of the stuff for solutions :) but i didnt found a birghtener so... now i know how to replace it ;) normally i did jevelery from copper and brass by cutting and forming. This will be something that i like more :P Thanks Jason :)
Hey Jason, I was wondering if there is a difference between charcoal filtering and carbon filtering? I know you have a video for carbon filtering, but in this video you talk about charcoal filtering? Thanks for all your videos, they are so fun to watch!! :)
Charcoal is basically just a low quality activated carbon. You can get a huge container of activated carbon at pet stores in the fish area for filtering stuff for crazy cheap, it's easiest.
sometimes it's called activated charcoal. they are the same thing. there important part is it says active activated, doesn't matter if it's charcoal or carbon they're the same thing. activated.
Can anyone give a report on the quality of Jason's book? How about the new formula for 10 dollars" I don't mind spending the money if it is worth it. Thanks, Doug A.
I bought a couple formulas solely because he has taken a lot of time to share information with me, you and others. After the fact, it turned out to be an even more worthwhile investment, because I learned valuable, new information not elsewhere mentioned.
I bought it, but I have not made it yet. I figured $10 bucks is nothing in comparison to all the info he has shared for free, so even if it doesn't work (which I wouldn't imagine to be true) I am at least donating $10 bucks to an awesome guy who is a wealth of knowledge who has and continues to share such great information on some pretty awesome stuff! He cuts out a lot of trial and error for us beginners, which would very easily cost us more than $10 bucks! But, I don't think you would be disappointed by buying the recipe :)
I’m also a bit confused, haven’t tried it yet but what’s your opinion on this solution promoting oxidation, wouldn’t a rust inhibitor be a must? I could be wrong. Anybody know?
This brightens my constipation. I love learning this stuff.
The answer to my question is 10 ML of GLYCOLMIX PER 2 QUARTS OF ELECTROFORMING SOLUTION. I found this information in his other video on making the electroforming solution.
I just realized I probably dumped the whole thing into my batch and that's why it isn't working... thanks for the info :)
Hey @dugotio. Did you manage to make this electroforming solution with MiraLax?
I found the answer to my question and it is 10 ML. PER 2 QUARTS OF ELECTROFORMING SOLUTION. I Found this in his other video on how to make the electroforming solution.
Thanks,
Doug A.
Thanks Doug! I was looking for this info too :)
Thank you!
THANKS
what is the mixing ratio
Thank you!
Jason, thanks for the vids.

Thank you!
You are the best man! Thank you.

Thanks once again mate!
thanks it's great, I never would have imagined 👍

Hello. Please tell me how many grams of saccharin should be mixed with 1 liter of distilled water?
Thank you for this explanation! I also found out about sodium saccharin, but am curious like @MegaNostr what kind of ratio would be reasonable.

Yes
You're a lifesaver!!
Do you preffer using glycol to electro polishing?
So I am a tad confused. In the electroplating video from 2019 he says its a leveller and still uses Midas. For this electroforming video he says its the brightener. So confused
How much would you make to put in a new batch of solution I made using your diy solution for a 4 quart bath?
Has Anyone been using this recipe without problems? Jason do you still use this recipe?
I wonder if its worth the trouble of adding some sulfuric acid to this brightener, the commercial stuff has it. I imagine after filtering the bath so many times and refilling with DI water you dilute the solution and change the pH to some extent. acidifying the brightener could be helpful for the longevity of the bath. 4 mL H2SO4 in 100mL brightener solution would be the same ratio as the bath formula i saw somewhere.
I know the difference between Plating and Forming but what is the difference between the solutions?
أنت رائع❤
Jason how much miralax do you add for 1 gallon of Electro Forming solution..I'm using root kill

I haven't spent this much money on products made by arms dealers in decades...
Have you tried automotive anti-freeze? It is basically PEG.
Anti-freeze is MEG (mono ethylene glycol) not PEG (poly ethylene glycol)
How do you get a thicker copper on the plants so they don't break?
Keep plating.

ive been trying to copper plate for months all the copper just wipes off. help me.
You gotta pay.
is this stuff the same as Propylene glycol used in Vaping
Are u sure ??? I have much this stuff in my garage .. pure propylene glycol
It's not the same thing
Can anyone give a report on the quality of Jason's book? How about the new formula for 10 dollars" I don't mind spending the money if it is worth it.

Bacteria and molds will feed on glycol. I wonder if growing biomass is the deposits you're seeing.
I’m also a bit confused, haven’t tried it yet but what’s your opinion on this solution promoting oxidation, wouldn’t a rust inhibitor be a must? I could be wrong. Anybody know?
Is there anyone here who heard the answer to my question? I keep re-watching the vid and if there is an answer in it I miss it every time.
Doug Asay hey Doug. I have asked questions on multiple of his videos. Doesn’t respond to any of them. 🤷♂️
So much conflicting information….just use the commercial product..🙄
You are extremely painful to watch. Getting information from your videos is only for the patient.
Dude whats that horrible background noise???. Good information but total disregard for the viewers.
Probably the agitator in his solution tank..
