[Jewelry making - Article 01066] - [Orchid] Electroforming on Wax

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    Can someone please recommend or share information on electroforming
    over a wax model? 

    I checked the archives and found two articles on the steps involved
    in electroforming but nothing about using it to electroform metal
    over wax. 
    Is it simply a matter of creating the wax form, covering the form in
    the conductive paint and immersing it or does the wax require special
    steps or special material conductive paint or a certain setting when
    dealing with the current? I'd like to experiment with copper at
    first. 

    Thanks for your help.
