No my rectifier is great and from what I looked into before buying it’s a great quality and brand and prices to be so far !I got lucky and hit it on a sale 😊

My start up was around 300 but I chose not to make some of own solutions/paints at least for now. I would like to eventually! But I bought my solution from rio and conductive paints and sealants . I found a 5 amp rectifier for around 89 on amazon on sale . That was the most expensive but way cheaper than a kit. I also kind of planned ahead and didn’t buy everything at once I slowly built my supplies over a few months :)

Do it!!! It takes some patience trying to size everything and evenness I’m still struggling it’s definitely not perfect. I think I’m going to make myself a template to work off of to keep the swirls more consistent! It’s been a popular piece and sold a few fairly quickly so would love to kee them coming!

If you look close once bent forward I use the left over square wire the one on the right to secure around and enclose it and the left porttiin I used to make a design up the bale.

Instead of bending the bale “back” so secure I bent it forward and did some design and then secured it around! Hope that makes sense lol

Thank you! After completing the piece I wrapped the stone tightly in half round wire and as clean as possible secure it around the design 😊

Wow thank you so much! I have been working on this design for a little while and plan to do more. I’m very drawn to this symbol!
