Nearly
anything that does not conduct electricity can be metalformed. This
includes organics like leaves flowers, sea shells, sand dollars,
plastic, wood, ceramic, glass, and plaster.
The
part is first coated with one of our conductive paints. After painting, the
part is dipped into immersion tin, copper plated, nickel plated,
and finally gold plated or any other decorative metal such as platinum,
rhodium, or silver. The process yields a mirror bright finish. All
Gold Touch, Inc. chemistry is non toxic and contain no cyanides
or arsenic.
If you already have a tank plating system and are interested in
metalforming, the conductive paint is available separately.
The
acrylic water based version for dipping and brushing is available in 1 ounce and 6 ounce bottles.
The
lacquer based version for spraying is sold in 4 ounce cans.
Larger sizes are available upon request.
