Stainless Damascus Bolster ?

[SVanderkolff]

I am planning on using some Mike Norris stainless damasus for the bolsters on a stainless damascus blade. My first thought was to use 416 pins, peen them in, sand them smooth and then etch along with the rest of the knife. I am worried that the 416 might react differently to the muriatic acid than the Mike norris damascus. How do you pin and etch stainless damascus bolsters?
Thanks
