Really? Well, that's worth trying.
Maybe a better etch could be gotten with the use of a combination of ferric chloride and electrolysis. That would probably mean a printer based press-n-peel system and a battery. I am also interested in this method to make stainless solder stencils at home. I have a few hours this Saturday to try this out, and, I should have a whole day available the following weekend to try this with. I'll have to see if I can get press-n-peel media here before the weekend. Now, who here is actually working on making some new nixie tubes? I need a idea of how large of characters to shoot for.
