Default Source for Silver Conductive Paint for Electroforming?

I am looking for a better source for silver conductive paint to use for electroforming. Anyone have a good source?

Many thanks,

Thanks Cosmo. I knew about Caswell but didn't know if there were alternatives.

There may be alternatives, but Caswell is the best in my opinion. Best customer service, and everyone you talk to there knows the stuff they sell.

Does it really need to be silver paint?

I like the water-based copper paint from Safer Solutions.

I just ordered a new jar after a major spill. I'm very thankful it wasn't silver nor solvent-based as it was ALL over me!

Lesson: Never just set the lid in place for a second. That shaking habit will get you.

I'm a bit curious about the need for silver paint as well. Copper paint is way cheaper and you can electroform silver over it it you need to.
