Hello!
I've just ordered a copper plating kit and silvaspray. I would like to make a small hollow copper form by electroplating the wax (covered in silvaspray) then melting the wax out. Will silvaspray stick to wax nicely? Is there one kind of wax that would work better than others? (I was planning on using paraffin.)
Also, on the Caswell Copper Plating Kit page, it suggests making a mold from wax and conductive powder.
Is conductive powder needed along with the silvaspray, or does it function just like silvaspray does?
Do you use the conductive powder as a coating, or mixed into the wax?
Thank you!
