Monday, October 24th, 2011
Have you ever worked for ages on a drawing into hard ground – etched the plate for 45 minutes 3 water to 1 acid and wiped off the ground and nothing or hardly anything is there!!
Possible reasons – the obvious is that the acid has burnt itself out or that the steel is not Mild Steel – the less obvious is that your supplier has supplied you with Mild Steel that has a film on it. Unless it has happened to you before you would not be able to spot it! well that has just happened to me and I have been etching since I was 7 years old!! I will have to remove the film by polishing the surface and then starting again and making sure I buy proper mild steel next time!
