Ammonia Persulfate Results

Mixed bag.

It did a pretty good job etching some of the copper/brass like this:

The roughness in the etched portions is do to small bubbles that form. I etch face down so I didn't see what was happening. Cool effect that I may use is another project.

But on the Aaron's belt tip the ammonia was removing the resist after about 30 minutes so I had remove the copper sooner than I wanted to. Hence, a shallow etch.

Then it totally destroyed another etch. Destroyed.

I think this occurred because I wasn't able to hold the ammonia persulfate at the target temperature. So it wasn't a quick etch and gave the ammonia persulfate time to work under the resist. More experiments needed.

Project X is finished. Here are the results.Hope everyone likes them. They are 2" tall and about 7" long. I made them to fit at the back of a belt. Before sending them I can punch rivet holes if requested.

All together at last.

Etches Over the Weekend

This is two of the copper plates I'm going to be etching over the weekend with ammonium persulfate. I'm hoping it works well!
