IronFist Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Evening fellas! There is a source from California named Sur-Fin Co., I believe. They carry all sorts of chems for metal. Faux bronze/ brass finish, ferric chloride, things like that. surfin.com, I think. Or sufinchemical.com maybe. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakwoodforge Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Any art supply stores that carry block/ lithograph printing supples will have Ferric Chloride. Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpile Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I had to just keep hitting different Radio Shack stores. When I finally found one that it in stock, I bought three bottles. Three bottles will last a long time, when mixing at a diluted rate.4 to 1 or 5 to1. With water being the bigger number. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me miller Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 If you are having trouble finding i, you can boost your old mixture by adding 5% muriatic acid to help give it a kick. I personally use it 3 to 1 mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbaknife Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 And that's the problem! They don't know when they run out, either, and don't re-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
