<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 355919, member: 54"]Actually no skill required, so I was surprised more people don’t do it. The etchant (chemical) does all the hard work silently and quickly, is dirt-cheap, safe and easy to use. Today there are so many acid-resistant materials readily available to make the design that I’m surprised more people don’t do it. You can just paint the metal then remove paint where you want metal removed, couldn’t be easier. Historically, liquid asphalt was used and is probably the best “resist” available. I bought a bottle of it at an art supply store but never tried it because I found other materials that worked well enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
