Im using that motherbourd etching acid you buy at radio shack I also thought about trying vinager limon and salt method to see how that works.


That's the right stuff. When you polished it after etching, what did you use?

Well, if you buffed out the pattern, either you buffed too aggressively or you didn't etch deep enough. I normally follow the etch by hand-rubbing with 1500-2000 grit paper.

It helps to pull the steel out of the acid occasionally and give it a scrub with a soft brush; it'll etch faster that way.
