DIY Conductive Paint for Electroforming: Only 2 Ingredients

I have had a few comments asking me what sort of conductive paint I use and I have a hard time answering that question since I make my own. It's super simple and easy to make your own conductive paint and can save you a lot of money as well.
Materials List:
- Amazon Graphite Powder: amzn.to/3Ja1d3X or
- Chemical Store Graphite Powder: shop.chemicalstore.com/naviga...
- Matte Modge Podge: amzn.to/3PZuG4h
- Small 2oz glass jars: amzn.to/3xx40S8
- Distilled Water- Your local grocery store
Safety:
- Glasses: amzn.to/3NItzFM
- Nitrile Gloves: amzn.to/3B1AemN
- Mask: amzn.to/414L6ef
The Process:
Making conductive paint is so simply you can probably do it with your eyes closed. It is a 1:1 mixture of Graphite Powder with Matte Modge Podge. Just mix until the modge podge turns black and if the consistency is too thick or too hard to mix then just add a tiny bit of distilled water.
Just to be safe please do not use any measuring cups, spoons, or etc in the kitchen after using it for your craft. No matter how well you wash them those items will no longer be food safe.

Hahah I love this! Luckily I have my own home but I still need to clean up the mess before my boyfriend thinks something exploded in the craft room LOL! I Let me know if this works for you! I have never tried the india ink and graphite so I'm curious on what works better.
