hi, i have a problem...my etching dosent get the black color ..it just looks like a sand blasted knife...any ideas?thanks also im using my computer as a power source....12 v at 0.01 A
So basically you just apply current in a saline solution. I'm more interested if it can etch brass. Regarding the stencil... It seems that any slim, waterproof material can be used. Am I right?
Oh... one more question... How much time does t take to etch
So are the stencils just a one time shot or can u reuse them. I need something so I can keep using the same stencil on all the knives I turn out. Any ideas thanks!
I have been looking for something like this. That looks great!!! How are you making your stencils? I would also like to know the parts of water to salt you are using. Thanks again great job.
oh that is awsome is it real hard it looks like it take some practice I just started making a knife and would like to try to do some thing like that to it its not anything to brag about but it will be differint so what i should be asking is if its just table salt and 2-3 teespoons to a 1/2 cup of water or is there more to it that that - thank you .
My battery must be too low because it didn't etch at all,

Couldnt you just wet a cottonball of maybe one of those cotton pads and just rubber band it over the stencil?

@BluesinGirl They're just pieces of insulated wire with an alligator clip at each end.

@dndhogs The stencils are sign vinyl cut by hand with a razor. The salt solution is 1/2tsp-1tsp per 1/2 cup of distilled water.

@swkford It's not an acid etching, it's an anodic etching. The liquid shown is a salt water solution.
