RE: Who knew working with acid could be fun? (Acid etching a knife.)

in #art7 years ago

Yeah, I should have mentioned that in the post, but I didn't know how in depth I should go with the process since I didn't wanna drag it on too long. The ferric chloride I use doesn't produce many fumes thankfully, where a paper mask or leaving a window open is enough to handle that aspect. The only thing that sucks about ferric chloride is when you go to neutralize the acid it basically acts like a volcano and can create a huge god damn mess.

Sort:  

ferric chloride is actually not an acid but reacts with water or water vapor and forms hydrogen chloride

would battery acid work? but that might be too diluted to work...

Those products I talked about were based on nitric acid... you can make Aluminum as white as a sheet with that stuff
