Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the practice of creating duplicates of metal objects through a process called electrotyping. While aimed at the amateur and hobbyist, the author pulls upon their extensive experience in this field to offer insights that will aid both novices and experienced practitioners. Early on, the author gives detailed instructions on how to prepare and use the materials necessary for electrotyping, and these instructions are thorough and accessible even to those with little to no experience in working with these materials. Once the reader has a grasp on the preparation of molds, the author then explores the different types of voltaic apparatus that may be used to facilitate the electrotyping process. The author meticulously describes the components of these apparatuses, explaining how to construct and use them to achieve the best results. Of particular importance to the author is the consistency and quality of the electrotyped results. This book provides a wealth of detail on the chemical principles and practical techniques that will help electrotypers at any level achieve consistent results in the quality of their work. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
