Have you ever tried straight graphic powder? Say after draining your pinecone from the lacquer, dipping into the powder, tapping off the excess... dip into both or just the graphite powder again? I think I'm going to experiment with this method just to see how well the item gets covered. Probably will be rough looking vs the brush on method... Can't use my mini pinecone though... it's the only one I have
I'll start with some shells as I have lots of those...
So you're saying I would need to wrap the pinecone with a few turns of wire (finer gauge... 26-28?) to make it more conductive overall? Just wrapping the stem wouldn't be enough if the graphite coating is complete?
