<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 356039, member: 54&quot;]Leaving bare metal for the etchant to eat away gives a smooth surface as long as the etchant is properly agitated.&nbsp; Anything placed on the metal leaves high places, height depending on whether the resist material is liquid-permeable or not.&nbsp; I got some interesting patterns by securing found items onto the metal.&nbsp; Think of how many different patterns you could get from yard goods with different textures.&nbsp; Of course you could always paint a pattern on but the thought of all that work really turned me off.&nbsp; Find some nonmetallic stuff with an interesting pattern and you’ll be in business.&nbsp; Some can be washed and reused but that type of material is cheap enough so re-use is seldom worth the effort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
