Making wax mandrels for electroforms conductive

We are having electroforming unit. I want to know is to apply electroforming technique on to the non-metallic (wax ,wood) surfaces to get the condictive surface. For more production, what kind of chemicals and (spray gun) equipment can be used.

Buy proprietary process-german firm Degussa is just one of producers(this process is now over 2o years old).If you don't want that way you can use any proprietary spray silvering process(or coppering).Bronze or copper dust(or graphite too) for bronzing is also usable but somewhat cheap and crude.Several good books on that subject is must for You.Good luck!
