Q: Deep Etching 303 Stainless
Hello Group,
I am currently in love with the look of 303 stainless steel jewelry and I would like to experiment with etchinig designs into the steel. Does anyone have a recommendation for deeply etching 303? I have read David Boye's book which recommends bee's wax masks and nitric-muriatic acid baths for tool steel. I have also read that PCB etchant, ferric chloride, and PCB resist, also works. I would expect a deep etch from FeCl to take a very long time. Galvanic etching perhaps? I would appreciate any advice the group may have on etching 303 in the small shop. Thanks, -Galileo
