New Quests

Trying to find other supplies locally for electroforming and etching - DYI

One item I need is Copper Sulphate (need this for electroforming as well ) and I found it locally at HH Goods in Uxbridge

Another item is Sodium Bisulphate which can also be used for pickling - so double duty on that
local supplier in Ontario DH Jutzi - 50lb bags but I'll use it up quickly as pickle or give some away

DH Jutzi also carries Ferric Chloride in 5 gal pails - which is very useful so when I order the Sodium Bisulphate I'll order a 5 gal pail and have delivered at same time

Graphite powder - found it at currys art supplies

Copper powder - found at Sculpture supply in Toronto and ordered when I ordered my new quart of Permalac sealer

graphite powder and copper powder - are to experiment and see if I can make my own conductive paint for electroforming -

this weekend is set up the etching stations and get to etching items this weekend - sheets for the etsy shop and some new items

I will do a refresher on etching as well this weekend

Was able to do some lampworking last week before my daughter moved out

this week is claim my house back and get ordganized and then I can start doing lots of things in my kitchen and in the basement studio without worry that the kids will get into it (its more the chemicals for the etching I worry about ) So I look forward to getting down to the basement more and working on more etching in the next month

I will put up a give-a-way this month - probably tonight to trek to the cold frozen studio for something to post
