    Default Electroforming help needed

    My wife just got a rectifier for electroforming. She wants to know what to set the volts and amps at for making pendants and such? Thank you for any help

    (I stole this from a wiki; I don't have my own rectifier)

    The general rule of thumb for copper electroforming is 0.01 amps/in2. The size / number of pieces you want to do at once will determine your power needs.
