Review: Good quality - Works really quick on circuit boards the first one was less than 5 mins. For a 70mm X 50mm board.
Review: excellent etchant for metal - bought this to etch a blade which had been polished to a mirror finish. I diluted this solution 4 to 1 with distilled/deionised water. (dont use it undiluted - you will damage your metal as its pretty strong stuff) 2 lots of 15 minute dips in the solution and a perfectly etched blade came out the other end! Arrived on time, packaged in a thick plastic bag to protect from any spillages. 5 stars - would recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a trick to remove the plastic stopper/seal underneath the screw-top? I've been hacking at it with various implements but not having much luck**
A: This must be a recent addition for safety or something. I bought mine about 2 years ago and it didn't have a plastic stopper/seal. Ask the supplier?

**Q: do you have to dilute this product before use ? Thank you**
A: Hello JanieI was using it to etch copper. You shouldn't dilute it if you are using it for that purpose. If you are using it as an etch at have a look at Edinburgh etch which uses mixed Ferric Chloride and Citric acid. This works far better and produces deep clean etches.

**Q: Does it etch silver**
A: I only use it to etch copper printed circuit boards. Sorry I can't answer your question about silver

**Q: will this etch damascus steel**
A: I've only used this to etch copper I'm afraid. It does this well.
