    Question: Practice plates

    i never practiced on much thinner than .030. if you want to clamp in the vise jaws without some kind of support, i'd go with .062. thinner stuff may buckle as well as give a bit of bounce.

    Question about coloring

    you can use mulltiple batteries. a problem tho, they will begin to lose power over time. such will lead to getting a color that yer not wanting. much easir to get a variable power supply. more consisten results that way. some do use fingernail polish. most any quLITY PAINT SHOULD DO.
