Usually I see plates like that on belts. I do my acid etching quite a bit different. I've never gotten the toner to transfer effectively. I use my cricut to cut vinyl for my resist. The vinyl tape that is electrical tape also works really well to mask off the edges beyond the vinyl adhesive stuff you buy out with the cricut. I've done most of my etchings with muriotic acid. And it speeds up the process a whole lot to run a DC current through the piece. I usually punch a hole in the margins that will be trimmed off to suspend the piece by an exposed wire. Do the same for a sacrificial piece of metal that allows the circuit to complete. The DC current blasts metal particles off quickly and they tend to at least partially flow to the sacrificial metal and kind of plate it. This cuts your etch time significantly. And will even make 20 minute etches into stainless steel deep enough to be wonderful after years of wear.

I used to use Press & Peel Blue for circuit boards. I also used Ferric Chloride. I found that a laminator used for laminating documents do a great job of laying down the P&P. To make the Ferric Chloride more active, I added a small amount of Muriatic Acid. I used an old microwave oven to heat the etchant. Acetone works great for removing the toner. I like your idea of using the floating technique, very clever.

Copier/Laser Printer/Laser fax technician here. Toner is basically plastic (with a few other additives) that melts at about 400 degrees F. The last step of these machines is to melt the toner onto the paper. That's why the heat on the hot plate transfers the toner to the brass plate. The Brother later printers toner may have an additive that doesn't work to well with your transfer paper and that is why people may not have the best results with it. I would also try warmer heat setting to see if you get better transfer of the toner to the brass plate. After neutralizing the etching fluid you might want to try some lacquer thinner to remove the toner. Any solvents that I used when cleaning a machine seemed to melt the toner and greatly help in the removal of the toner. Might work better than sanding and be quicker and easier. and may be worth a try since you are still experimenting . Great video.

Q: What is 'to vectorize artwork'? A: For those that don't know what this means, like me.... Vector artwork is art that's made up of vector graphics using software such as Adobe. The original artwork is processed by software that makes a note of the points, lines, curves and shapes, and create mathematical ratios between them and resulting formulas. Then, when you want to enlarge or shrink this image for use on a bigger or smaller item, you can do easily from the computer without redrawing by hand. Smart way to reuse an image over and over again. When you scale (enlarge or shrink) a vector image file, it isn't low resolution and there's no loss of quality, so it can be sized to however large or small you need it to be. This is much sharper than resizing a picture using Microsoft Paint, or PowerPoint, or MS Word. This is the pro version. Prior to this video, I did not know this. I learned something new and thought others should understand what this process is. This stuff is toxic, corrosive, and potentially explosive. I've never worked with it, but researched it. Read on for safety tips... 1. To make it safe for disposal, you can add sodium carbonate (washing soda) or sodium hydroxide to neutralize it, until the pH value goes up to between 7.0 and 8.0, testing it with indicator paper. Have the indicator paper handy. Have Baking Soda handy. Either Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) or Washing Soda (sodium carbonate) will neutralize the acid, make it non-corrosive. After adding the soda and water, check with your Litmus indicator paper for alkalinity between 7-8 pH. Once it is that pH, then you can flush it down the drain. Neutralizing this will create CO2 Carbon Dioxide, so work outdoors. 2. Is ferric chloride a hazardous chemical? Ferric chloride reacts with most metals to give flammable, potentially explosive hydrogen gas. Latent fire and explosion hazard when in contact with metals due to hydrogen gas. Work in well ventilated places and wear a chemical mask. Do not damage your sensitive lung tissue. Cover eyes with goggles that seal off air, not just safety glasses. The fumes can burn eyes. Even if you work outdoors, WEAR PROTECTION - Googles, chemical mask, gloves, apron. See SDS. Don't be macho about this. You only have one body in life, and it cannot be taken to a garage to get parts replaced. Don't take shortcuts. Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on Ferric Chloride: www.vanderbilt.edu/vinse/facilities/safety_data_sheets/Ferric_chloride_iron_trichloride_FeCl3.pdf

@@DarkHorseWorkshop I completely understand that. I kinda worked up to it with methods similar to what you put in this video first. but a little $50 DC power supply off amazon has served me pretty well for a few belt plates, pendants, a crown, a few etched hammers, and a book plate all in steel. If you are willing to give it some time you can even forgo the acid and just use salt water. For that method you can basically hook up the aligator clip from the power supply to the metal you are working with and something like a cotton makeup pad in the other clip. Dip it in the salt water and just hold it to the metal where you want to etch. This is better for small areas like a logo on a knife blade.

Works well.

@vincentferrari2 жыл бұрын
I know this is an old video so I don't want to be the guy who resurrects things from the dead, however I think the reason you had some issues with the straight Ferric Chloride etch is that the metal wasn't hot enough. A surefire way to tell when the metal is hot enough: Leave the skillet on (250-300) and let it sit there until it's fully at temperature. Take the metal and drop it on the skillet and let it sit there until it's hot. Once it's completely hot, lay the PNP paper on it. You'll know if the temperature is right because the paper will immediately adhere to the metal. If it's hot enough you won't have to burnish much at all. Lastly, GENTLY burnish the paper onto the metal. I use a wadded up paper towel so as not to scratch into the paper, and if the metal is hot enough and the paper has adhered, that should be all you need at all. Using these techniques with the PNP paper, I get zero white spots, etc. Also, if you're doing designs like the woven one, you should probably consider using a vinyl cutter (Cricut / Silhouette) and use Oracal 651 or some other permanent vinyl as a resist. You only need to use PNP for excessive detail or fine pieces, but pieces with larger areas to resist etch much better with vinyl than with PNP. Hopefully some of that helps, and I've started following the channel now so I can see more of your work!
