  • Good product at a good price.

Good product at a good price.

  • It works really good for knives..
Size: 475 milliters Style: Etchant Solution
I mix this 160z FC solution to 36oz of distilled water for knife etching in a 1/2 gallon glass wide mouth mason jar with a plastic lid and it works good. To see the best results leave it in for about 10 minutes and then rinse and use a wet sponge to scrub the blade. This will reveal just how dark your blade is. If you want it darker put it back in and repeat. This process will dull your blade so be ready to sharping when done or coat that part with fingernail polish. The picture is of 2 knives, one etched and the other in original condition. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. I suggest you wear gloves and safety glasses just in case and store this stuff in a manner that will prevent the container from breaking and keep some baking soda on hand for any spills to neutralize the acid. Be very careful that your metal parts do not drop in the jar. This could shatter the jar and leave you with a serious mess to clean up. If you get it on your skin dont freak out, it will take it a few minutes to do anything and if you rinse your skin with water asap it will not burn you. Keep this stuff away from pets that might ingest it. If they get enough your pet will have to be put down because the acid will destroy their GI tract and it will be a very painful death otherwise. On that cheerful note good luck and happy etching. :) ... show more

  • A good chemical for etching
Size: 1 Quart Style: Etchant Solution
I like that it's a fast acting chemical for etching copper although it is a harsh and somewhat hazardous concoction. That's the trade off if you want something that works quickly though so I have no complaints.
