Robert Mayo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I find ferric cloride works best for me. Here is a link to suppliers in Idaho. BobMG Chemicals > Idaho Distributors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 another dumb question Would it work to etch a knife in salt water and house current. or would it be better to you a dc power cord Thanks Eric Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdCaffreyMS Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 ONLY DC CURRENT!! About all you'll get out of trying to use 110v is hurt, and maybe burn the whole place down!! DON'T DO IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 When you pass an electrical current thru salt water it creates chlorine gas. Before messing around, learn something about chemistry before you remove yourself from the Human Gene Pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry W. Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Manual frame page. This is a page out of Bob Engnath's book. The chemistry section. It is well worth a look. He has a lot of information. Much of it very entertaining. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
