Hey,

I've been electroforming since October and things have been going smoothly until now. My copper is coming out looking burnt and dry - even with a low current. Its bubbling a lot as well and sometimes doesn't even adhere to the graphited item but only to the copper that is wrapped around the stone I am electroforming.
I did order a different solution - Krohn Acid Copper Plating Solution but it was fine at the beginning of it's use. I'm wondering maybe the solution is contaminated (I filter it through charcoal but just realized this evening that I've had that charcoal since October... maybe I should buy a new filter?) And sometimes I don't use gloves so maybe my skin's oils are affecting the solution?

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated as I'd love to get back to this magical art!

Cheers, Bronwyn
