electro etching

I recently "met" Marie Fredriksson on facebook and she made me think about electro etching. I decided to give it a try as the mandatory materials are quite easy to find at least for a few tests.
So here is my first try on steel, made with a basic 9V battery.


I will have to find another varnish and to buy a power supply with a stronger amperage if I want to achieve a deeper etching but it looks promising, doesn't it ?

  1. Looking very good for a first try, Benoit. I much prefer the electro-etching method to acid etching... will be interesting to see what you make of it.
