    Etching solution suppliers

    Mr McDonald I would just use Salt water, if you dont like that you can use vinegar and salt. I use it on my carbon steels and stainless steels and it works just fine.

    The Transformer Mr Crawford sugests using is a 25.5v 1.0a rated tx. I use one a bit stronger. Door bell Transformer is what they are called and most have center taps from 5v, 12v, 18v so you can have the correct voltage for your bell or the lite in the bell button.
