Phill,
Thanks for the explanation... helps a lot! The lowest setting on this meter is x10 and after calibrating the needle to zero, it only moves a tiny bit from the original left position to about 60. If I set the resistance to x100 and then 1k, and recalibrate to 0 each time, I get between 10 - 8 and 1 - .75, respectively. And, of course, when I touch the tips to the small amount of copper on the first shell, it goes all the way to the right past zero.
Am I understanding correctly that the lower the number the more conductive the piece?
What range reflects good conductivity for electroforming?
I guess even the two I didn't touch need a couple more coats of the paint... Going to do that now...
