Phil, 70% Nitric Acid is fairly common. Nital mixtures vary. So 'best' is subjective. Very dangerous stuff! Use safety gear. Jim On 9/12/2013 8:17 AM, Joshua Tree Earth Space Museum wrote: Francesco: Do you mean sodium nitrate (NaNO3)? While we're on the topic, which solution of

I would use steam distilled water insted of alcohol. Less dangerous. Have had personal bad experance with nitol. If you use nitol, then keep in a ice bath to keep it stable. Thanks, Derek. Joshua Tree Earth Space Museum dori...@embarqmail.com wrote: Francesco: Do you mean sodium nitrate

I have purchased Nital from chemical-supermarket.com. Premixed and much easier to not have to worry about improper mixing techniques and proper ratios. Shipping is a little costly due to safety, but still worth it for me. I normally get the Nital 10% Nitric, but they have different ratios

Derek's recommendation brings up an interesting point. What is the function of the alcohol? Post etched irons are usually rinsed in distilled water anyways to remove the Nital, so why use alcohol at all? Mendy Ouzillou On Sep 12, 2013, at 8:35 AM, Derek Yoost mine...@optonline.net wrote: I
