If space is not a problem, they have holders for the metal stamps. Or you can tape them together and pound them in sequence. Either way the numbers will come out straight and equally spaced.
That's awesome! To bring those serial numbers up you need gilders paste wax, you just rub it in with your finger, leave it a while and buff the excess, it'll fill those stamped details right in.
Maybe a mm? You need to keep an eye on it, and the quality of brass, concentration of ferric chloride, temperature, how much you use and the amount of exposed brass. There are too many variables to say for certain. I just check it every hour or so to see how it’s going.
@@joveee.g4179 I don’t really know. I’d probably recommend staying at 47% or lower. If you use lower, it just takes longer. If you went higher, it would probably go faster, but beyond that, I’m not sure what would happen.
@@catspawcustoms i really dont know the percentage of this chemical we are using because unlike the chemical you use it has label on it like you know the percentage of the chemical you are using. Here in the philippines we dont have those label.
Pretty interesting process, dude! 😃 It really turns out nice! Just a question... Did you ever tried to make a fire stamp this way? Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you, and I haven’t tried to make a fire stamp or branding iron, though with a thick enough piece of brass and a deep enough etch, I think it would work pretty well.
No idea, but it would be worth a try. Though, you have a laser cutter, you could paint the brass, cleanly burn away the paint where you want to etch and do it that way. Paint will mask the metal from the acid too.
@@catspawcustoms I have painted a metal plate and laser engraved a pattern but not sure if i am using the correct type of paint that will resist acid, some say acrylic or lacquer. I have seen a video where there still is residue on the lasered surface preventing acid etching even though it looks like bare steel or brass, they say wash off with lighter fluid or soap and water which doesn't affect the painted surface. I was was wondering if there are any up to date current active forums that talk about this method of engraving using paint as a resist.
@@chrisabraham8793 and actually, it would also be worth trying to cut the vinyl after it is stuck to the brass. My only concern there is me thing the vinyl or adhesive with the laser.
No idea, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. I think Wesley Treat - Maker of Things may have done a video on this with steel, but it might have been aluminum. Or I could be completely misremembering it.
