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

Huh! Ingenious. Do you mind if I shamelessly steal from you?
Can you explain how you made your leads?

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

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.

@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.
