The acetone I've used in the past is just the plain kind from the hardware store. It's found in the paint aisle in a metal can.
You just mix a small amount of graphite powder with the acetone until it forms a thin paint. Then use a paint brush to coat the item you're electroforming. It will dry very quickly and you just want to rub off any excess powder and you're good to go
This book by Jason Welsh is a very basic, great step by step guide to getting set up and started in electroforming. He outlines the creation of a small, beginner's tank and then a larger, multi-piece tank

Nope! It’s also called a pin polisher. You use steel shot inside with a polishing solution or soap and water (solution works way better) and once on, everything inside spins at a high speed polishing the metal. It works way faster than a regular tumbler and way better. Done in minutes instead of hours or days. magnetic tumbler
Thank you so much!! The patina I used was "Eurotool Liver of Sulfur Gel." Here's a link for it on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034LL8HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1QAuDb2WP65F3
I'm new to electroforming as well, and this was an experiment, so for this one I attached the shell piece using only clay (apoxie sculpt). It worked for this one because the clay came up around the shell sufficiently to hold it in place, but on pieces where the clay doesn't come up over the edges, I'll have to use glue. Haven't decided what glue to use yet.
I use a paint from ABR Imagery. I have found that the paint from Caswell separates too easily and is rougher than the ABR paint.
Caswell offers a paint that can be sprayed but it is very pricey.
I was also able to find this carbon conductive spray on Amazon
Gesswein is Canadian, as is Caswell.
Not knowing where you are, I suggest you searching for a jeweller's supply shop.
In Vancouver there is Lacy West.
I'm pretty sure Rio Grande and/or Ottofrei will ship those chemicals to Canada.
Edited to add, I purchased this power supply from Amazon.com with no problems.
