Sometimes my ADD gets the best of me.... Earlier I was etching a WI guard and pommel and it wasn't going fast enough for me. I remembered someone saying that the FC works better if you heat it up, so I put the glass container on my hot plate. Then I put the aluminum tray from my toaster oven between the glass container and the element thinking that that would be OK. Well I was wrong about that..Less that 2 minutes later I heard a loud pop and the container jumped about 1" in the air dumping 1/2 gallon of FC on the hot plate, work bench and all over the floor :mad::grumpy::barf: Does anyone know where I can buy some patience???? None of my suppliers carry it....:D
 
If you find that patience for sale maybe we can get a group rate.

Wow that sucks. Was this inside your shop? You most likely had a bunch of fc in the air that will settle on everything. This is going to have effects on any metal in your shop for a while.
 
I think I might have a coupon laying around for a deal on some patience from a quilting shop.
 
Be careful about asking to learn patience because often you'll be put in situations to practice it.

I'd suggest continuing knifemaking if y ou want to learn patience. :)
 
I did the exact same thing except I had a double boiler idea, and it was on my wife's stove. One odd thing about ferric is that once you think it is all cleaned up, it appears as a dark yellow stain a few days later. Wifey was unimpressed.
