Lead by electrolysis

Pyro - 25-6-2012 at 14:45

hello everybody,
I imagine many of you have seen woelen's website on chemistry, and one of his experiments is growing lead by electrolysis. I have tried this, but would prefer to make crystals like these:



before attempting this I thought I would ask for a little advice.
I would grow this in a beaker with a saturated solution of Pb(NO3)2 and a much lower current.
does anybody have any suggestions on this?
thanks,
alex
