Ha ha...no i meant that they are still soaking. I never got around to finishing them. For some organic items, anything that is super porous, a soaking in lacquer and lacquer thinner solution will help. Dry the items and then coat again with lacquer before painting or dippin in conductive paint. The item needs to be sealed sufficiently enough to keep the electroforming solution from soaking into it. If your item isn't porous, just use the conductive paint.
Remember that you will need to have all the parts being electroformed in direct contact with the cathode, usually with wire. The current can only flow through whatever is connected.
Hope this helps.
