Hey
Ive been thinking about ttying to etch a blade for a while now, i like how some look, also (thought) it might protect from rust, but i apparently was wrong about that
I want to try a SIMPLE etch(ie stuff can be easily aquired, simple to follow steps and not so on the hazardous side) i know of vinegar, mustard, and ferric chloride(cant find source for that yet and will probably get it raw and mix anyway) but dont know the how.
can someone let me know the techniques/steps and other things to consider as well (photo of said etch would be great). Anything simple would do, i wouldnt mind lemonade gone bad etch even
Also so far i work with leaf springs, O1 and will start with D2 soon(which im guessing vinegar and mustard wont affect very much)
Thanks
