1932 Chevy etching

I posted this on HAMB so I figured I'd better post it here too. This is an etching of my 32 Chevy that was made by printing a picture of the car on a Avery clear postal label and then sticking it on a sheet of copper ,cutting out the lines of the car with an Exato knife and then dropping it in a circuit board etching solution . I soldered the brass numerals and Chevy logo on and made a frame out of brass square tubing.

did you use FERIC CHLORIC ACID circuit board cleaner ? I use it in model railroading for turning aluminum to a rust finish .

Yes....That's exactly what I used. You can get it at RadioShack and it's fairly cheap. When it reacts with copper you don't get any significant fumes and as long as the copper remains submerged in the solution and not exposed to oxygen the copper will not react to any great extent with the hydrochloric acid which is produced with ferric chloride solutions so you get a nice even and clean etch line. When your done all you have to do is add baking powder to the solution to neutralize it to make is safe for disposal
To make it safe for disposal, you can add sodium carbonate (washing soda) or sodium hydroxide to it to neutralize it, until the p - See more at:
