Question about saving etching.
Has anyone ever attempted to save a shallow etching with muriatic acid? Were you successful?

I have no diea myself, but am very curious to see if it works. Keep us up to date... pictures are a plus too
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

Well I can say in theory it would work. I know that if you happen to file or grind through a serial # or something, muriatic acid will bring it back. Yet I have not been able to experiment with a blade to see how the surrounding metal will react...

I've used muriatic acid to rust steel quickly for outdoors furniture, so I'd be very cautious with your proposed method for saving etchings... but very interested to hear how things turn out!
