Finally a country ass boy like me who likes to craft stuff... I have the cameo and a cricut , good video

[@ILKnierim]

Hey thanks for stopping by yeah yeah I got some craft stuff coming out here shortly I try to make all kinds of dumb crap✌Cya

[@johnnyfudpucker6187]

@@ILKnierim I have been trying to do the electro etching ... Having some success but still botching stuff at times, That is probably something that would interest you since you can cut your own stencils

[@ILKnierim]

@@johnnyfudpucker6187 yeah I did a video on that not too long ago you're right it is kind of blotchy so I tried to use it to my advantage and make it look like it's galvanized I'm editing a video right now that's going to go out and probably an hour that shows that work and I'll have a link to that video thanks for the heads up✌Cya

[@ILKnierim]

@@johnnyfudpucker6187 also I have a glass etching video coming out on Tuesday that'll give you a hint on what's coming out hopefully Friday✌

[@johnnyfudpucker6187]

@@ILKnierim yea I have done a little glass etching too, I waste alot of stuff trying to hack but I like to experiment. OK I will be looking for your Video

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

Very Nice mate, try washing with warm soapy water after the etch. Soap is a base much like the baking soda and will help to stop any further reaction which is giving you the rust type look

[@ILKnierim]

Hey thanks for the info Darren

[@XoftC]

Cool idea. I think an easier way for you to transfer even more complex designs onto the metal is by using a laser engraver. Paint the metal using mat black primer, then using the laser engraver burn a negative pattern onto the paint, clean the burnt paint off then brush it with iron chloride and once done remove the rest of the paint using acetone. Same method I use for etching PCBs.

[@ILKnierim]

I definitely would love to have a laser engraver but I bought a 3D printer instead soon I hope to purchase one

Hey, neighbor! Over from Dave's live and saw a video about something I'm about to get into... Stay well over there.

[@ILKnierim]

hey thanks for stopping by hopefully the video helps

My mom died having no teeth. She can not chew her food properly... I guess its the cause of diabetes or aging.

[@ILKnierim]

I'm going to guess both

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

I always mixed the baking soda in water and dunked the etched part in it to neutralize the acid, Also I’ve always submerged the part in the ferric chloride and let it sit for anywhere from a few minutes to like 10-15 min, gets much darker, but wouldn’t work as well for a smaller area.

[@ILKnierim]

Wow thanks for the info it was first time not using electricity & submerging the part is why it didn't turn black thank you I will give it a shot✌

[@ayurvedicherbadityagoyal8242]

Dear sir can you tell what kind of acid h do to highlight damascus pattern please share full process

[@ILKnierim]

Ferric Chloride is the acid I use I also have a video where I use 12volt electricity to etch also

[@Hvac.tools_]

Would I be able to Cover scratches on a stainless steel blade with a this finish

[@ILKnierim]

I don't believe you would cover them you may be able to disguise them in a print of some sort

[@WomanOutdoors]

Dont know how I havent found you since now! On Daves stream saw you!

[@ILKnierim]

today was the 1st time I have seen you also

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Very cool man! Picked you up from RidgeLife Live!! Good stuff! 👍👍

[@ILKnierim]

Hey thanks that's where I found you at Cya in future videos✌

[@DJJAW11]

... Great vid.i think the trick is, you also neutralise the mugs after,to stop it Further etching,be it with the soda/water !.

[@ILKnierim]

Thank you! Yes neutralizing etching is a must

[@phoenixpalani3756]

Send me any step by step procedure during Etching process in pdf

@@frederickschwartz1873 and I'll play around with that picture and see what I can do

[@Occhublu]

You got my sub. Keep posting metalcrafting 😁

[@ILKnierim]

Hey thanks I do a bit of everything but I will do some research & see what I can do for you✌

[@MyAlabamaFarmLife]

I think they came out great. Nice looking mugs!

[@ILKnierim]

Well thank you I appreciate it I'm always double guessing myself especially on my videos Cya next time

[@RidgeLife]

Very cool! Great job!

[@ILKnierim]

I hope so because you now own one of those thanks for stopping by✌Cya next time

[@rosarivero4256]

How long you wait in between one to another product?

[@ILKnierim]

I applied products to four of them time I got to the end of the fourth I started reapplying to the first thanks for stopping by✌Cya

[@lacossanostra]

use aceton to remove the sticker just poor it in a container so you can submurce the cup

[@ILKnierim]

😁thank you

[@deborahgonzalezknight168]

will this work on shiny stainless steel?

[@ILKnierim]

It should

[@manojarts710]

Sir this tape name yus

[@ILKnierim]

Sorry I do not understand the question

[@ruyvieira104]

Can you etch a hole into a thin stainless steel plate?

[@ILKnierim]

I don't think so. it's not very deep.✌thanks for stopping by

[@recursivevoid1591]

I think you could technically do it, only you would have to cover everything you want to preserve, then submerge the whole thing in ferric chloride and take it out from time to time (with gloves) to check if it's done.

[@lindaknierim3666]

I like them,good job.

[@ILKnierim]

Thanks I appreciate that
