Etching solution

[JMJones]

I spilled the etchant that came with my personalizer plus. I have heard that saltwater works, does anyone have experiance with this and if so how does it work, salt concentration, ect.

A new bottle is only a few bucks at various knife supply places.

If you need to get a couple done before you can order some in, try this: 4oz vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt.

I know several use salt water with great results.

The concentration isn't critical. Just put a bunch of salt in some water. Some people say to add so much salt that the solution reaches the saturation point but it works at much lower concentrations too.
Use it the same way you use other etchants.

Whenever you change anything in your etching process make sure you try it on scrap first.
