Hey guys, need a little help. I need some advice from some of you guys that know what you're doing with Hamons. What should I do now? I love the action in this hamon but I hate the definition. My inclination is to sand it down and re-etch it. I think I left it in the etch too long. Here is what we have. New jersey Steel Baron 1075. Ground to a 600 grit finish then hand sanded to 1500. Etched 2 min, washed with dawn & Baking soda, sanded with wet 2000 grit paper. Etched again, 2-3 min (didn't like how it was looking so etched longer), washed with dawn & Baking soda, sanded with wet 2000 grit paper. etched again then ditto, etc. 4 etchings. It never looked better than when I checked it at 45 seconds of the very first etch. Please Help.
