Hi all !!
My name is Jayson ,
I found this forum through google searches to be honest and it seems like there are some very nice and knowledgable people on here
Like everyone I come to you with a newly found hobby and project .
I am hobby to acid etch a wrestling belt .
I have asked a few people and they have confirmed that all plates are etched or casted.
I recently attempted to try it with a uv neg film , a design stainless steel ( I'm pretty sure it was ) and I poured ferric chloride into a container and left it in there .
Now the lady at the etching supplies shop said just to pour ferric chloride straight in but now it seems like I was meant to mix it with water is this correct ?
I've been told to use a zinc sheet about 4mm thick and nitric acid but we don't have zinc sheets in Aus . So I was thinking brass copper or aluminum .
The ideally needs to be 4 mm think and I need a nice deep etch .
I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to achieve any help would be awesome !!!
