Thank you for _actually_ saying what you guys use to etch your rings. There are a ton of different ways to do it, but I'm not very well-versed in chemistry, so I wasn't willing to take my chances, and I could never find a definitive answer for what to use on my rings. Thank you for not only saying what you use, but also for being specific on how you do it!
OK, I know he said it already, but for anyone else making this ring, HOLY CRAP make sure those diamonds are below the ridgeline. I didnt notice when I made mine and wow I wish I had, went thru like 14 sanding wheels before I realized I was an idiot and diamonds are hard asf
Hi there I am a beginner and watched the video several times but my first 2 attempts are not even close to being anything someone would want or wear. Are there more instructions to teach a beginner? Thank you.
I also find it easier when the humidity is lower. I’ve spent 5 minutes shaking a vial to equal powder when it’s high humidity. If I know it’s coming, I tend to run the AC to pull the moisture out of the air on those days. Since I end up using less glow powder, (unless I want more of course) I can get more vibrant colors.
I just started watching your videos. I did a couple inlays months ago and never really finished them. Is there a video that goes deeper into the polishing?
I just finally got a chance to watch this video all the way through and this video along with the carbon fiber video answered my polishing questions. Thanks for the videos and the info.
Could y’all do some of your videos using more common tools. Files, Dremels and such. I wish I had a lathe, but unfortunately it’s way out of my budget.
You can also use ferric chloride like is used for etching printed circuit boards. It might stain the plastic part however, so getting pool acid (muriatic) and peroxide like he showed is probably best.
You can pick up a gallon of muriatic acid from Home Depot/Lowes for like 10 bucks and is more than you will ever use. The peroxide doesn't have to be 30% you can use less, it will just require adding more to the acid to start the reaction.
