ELECTRO DEPOSITION AS SUBSTITUTE
FOR CASTING. find in London Nature
an interesting reference to the process OF
eletro-deposition, which, in the hands of
an electro metallurgical company of Brus-
sells, promises to become practical substi-
tute for casting IN the production of bronze
statuary. Our contemporary confrms.our
previous statement, that this company had
succeeded in producing colossal statue of
Van Eyek by the deposition of copper
electrically upon the clay model. The
same authority notices a sample procedure
by which the production of bronzes on the
small scale may readily be carried out.
Take any plaster figure or group, boil in
stearine, then coat well with black lead,
and place in the copper bath as in ordinary
electrotyping. Attach very weak bat
terry, and deposit, very slowly, thin coat
ing of copper. Then remove from the bath
and bake in an oven until the plaster
model shakes ont in dust. There remains
now only thin copper shell of the model.
Varnish this on the outside to prevent
further deposition there, and replace in the
bath, with much stronger battery power.
The copper will now deposit on the inside
and when the same becomes thick enough
the process is finished.
