Saltwater etching, use the same method making circuit boards, never thought of trying it on anything else.

I am constantly amazed my the creativity and ingenuity I run across on this site. It's awesome.

Thank you for the link. This is a little outside of my ceramics field, but sometimes we use metals that need to be etched combined with the ceramic. And I see it can be used on some other metals other than steel... Neat!

It works on all steels. If you want to use a commercial rig and supplies built for just the purpose, check this company out. http://www.markingmethods.com/electr...l-marking.php4

I've been trying to find a local source for the nifty iron on PCB acid resist paper. It would be cool for some detailed etching. I'm going to try a recommended paper later this week to see how it works. I've had limited success already and now am looking for the right paper.

Radioshack (I know I hate them also) sells a pen that I use but most of my stuff I do is hobby and doesn't require super detailed as it doesn't show.
