Battery takes on household current. I demonstrate how to connect your electroetching unit to your etching pan and to your work piece. Find out which unit is the hands down winner. If you do decide to use the plug in type unit, I strongly recommend doing the punched out designs using Tuck Tape. You will be able to leave it in the solution for the longer duration. Stay tuned for some of my etched designs being enameled and embellished with gemstones. Hope you enjoyed this and hope this has piqued your interest in the fabulously creative craft of electroetching. It is very safe to do and non-toxic (I will probably get scolded for not wearing gloves or protective eyewear and certainly not a respirator, some precautions are just over the top, but each to their own and use your own discretion), I have been doing electro etching for over eight years, building my first etching unit after discovering that I could scientifically first do it with my Pepe pen plater. If metal could be added, it could also be taken away. Be sure to filter and save your solution! This is the bonus of electroetching, a far more environmentally and safer alternative to the Ferric acids.
