I have some copper colloids and managed to make a gel out of them in an attempt to create copper wrap for my child's project. So far I have not been
successful in the copper gel route so I remade the colloidal copper nanoparticles. How can I make the size/mass/density o the nanoparticles greater so
that I can create copper wrap from them and wires, perhaps even a coin? I wish to do this without increasing the concentration of copper meaning I
don't want to add more nanoparticles into the solution I want to increase what I already have. How can I do this?

I think your problem is with your capping agent. Specifically, the one next to your "A" key.13enigma - 15-12-2017 at 22:04

Could you elaborate. I would appreciate itzed - 16-12-2017 at 17:22
Ummm. I have successfully purchased copper-leaf at "Michael's" craft supply store, here in Portland. Am I misunderstanding you?13enigma - 16-12-2017 at 18:32

How can you increase what you have without adding to it?
Or do you mean..
Wrap = conductive sheet/whatever?
increase= make bigger sheet without adding more copper?
Is this an expensive thing? If so whats our cut?
