If you use PEG in your copper electroforming solution, that's what will happen

This is a cheap and safe way to make a brightener and also to improve the conductivity of the electroforming solution. The substance we are going to use is called PEG.
PEG stands for Polyethylene Glycol, commonly used as laxative for children.
In the US, you can find it with the name of Miralax. While Macrogol is the generic name for PEG in Europe.
The brand of pure PEG I found in Italy is called Onligol.
If something seems missing, or it's not very clear to you, there will be more explanations in my blogs.

CuForming is a project of passion born from our love for both science and crafting.
Since 2018, we've been exploring the fascinating world of electroforming, where we merge the wonders of electrochemistry with geology, botany, zoology and the artistry of crafting.
Copper, with its versatility and beauty, is our favorite material to work with, and our designs are inspired by the intricate textures found in nature.
Through experimentation with chemicals, various materials, and the electroforming process, we create unique pieces that celebrate the intersection of science and art.
With inherited skills in electrical engineering, painting, sculpting and materials assembly, and the curiosity about new technologies such as 3D printing, CuForming is where science meets creativity.

If you're trying to plate at constant current, you should have the CC light lit up on your power supply. Turn the voltage up to a high level, and adjust the current using the current knobs on your power supply. Otherwise, the current will vary to keep the voltage constant, which is not what you want...

Thank-you. Can't wait to try this. I'm in Canada and I can't make my solution. It's so hard to keep it in tip-top shape without spending tons of $$ on buying new solution.

Thank you for your appreciation. PEG is a temporary solution for brightening your pieces, you will eventually need to buy brightener to get a good result.

Greetings from Algeria.. I respect your work.. Are there other products that contain this brightener.. I don’t know if it is available in my country.. Thank you, you are wonderful❤

Thank you, I appreciate your comment! The only brands that I know are the Onligol from Italy and Miralax from the USA, which are made of pure PEG. You can try to ask in your local pharmacies for a pure polyethylene glycol laxative, it must be without any excipients. Or you can try to buy it from Italy... The problem is that it's not easy to find someone that ship to Algeria and since it will go through custom borders it will cost more. I'll leave this link from eBay, ask them if they can ship it ebay.to/3Wytr08

@@electronicsandtechnology719 During the electroformation? Absolutely not! Brightener works with the electrical current to allow a perfect deposition of the copper ions. It's not a polishing process, it's about ions and electricity moving together.

You need sulfuric acid to regulate sulfur ions in the solution. Tell me in which country you live, maybe I can help.

PEG is not a "brightener" its a "Carrier" that regulates CU+2 ions at the anode.
