A tool (10) includes a base (12) made of contact and projection woven, metallic, compression screens (16, 18) secured to each other. A plurality of linear projections (30) extend away from the base (12). A shortest distance between adjacent linear projections (30) may be between about 20 μm and about 20 mm. The tool (10) is forced upon an uncompressed galvanic pellicle (52) so that the projections (30) compress and bond connected areas (56) of the pellicle (52) to a conductive surface (54) to form an electrode (50).
