Electro Chem Etch After Glue Up?

[Samuel Goodhue]

Making an AEB-L kitchen knife and attached the scales this evening with some g10 pin stock and West Systems epoxy.

Sitting here in bed I realized that I forgot to etch my maker’s mark in.

Any harm in etching tomorrow after the epoxy is cured? Will the electricity cause epoxy failure?

Thanks

You are fine, plenty of people etch the logo after knife is glued up.
Don't worry about it.

Etching is normally about next to last thing I do to a knife. Get knife complete, etch, then sharpen and put in box.
