Are you just using one copper bar, or? What's the arrangement? I'm gonna have to look into this. I've been using the thick copper coil.
My first bottle of solution worked well for a few tries, but then crapped out. I assumed it might be due to not lacquering my organic material properly, but who knows. My wire was always connected well, and I almost always leave paint to dry for a full 24hrs. It didn't matter what I did. Refreshed with Rio brightener and distilled water, filtered through charcoal. I tried it all. The minute I opened the new bottle, it was all good again. It did start getting less bright, but I didn't wanna mess with is an risk screwing up the PH. The dull pink I get now is perfectly fine– just needs polishing. I use either steel wool, a copper scrubbie, or brass brush. If I don't care about leaving some LOS in the crevices, I'll take to the Dremel steel brush.
