Thanked: 3215Darkening blade etching
So I was drooling over the photos of mycarvers’ awesome WB in black horn. (Workshop, Custom). His etching came out black and says he did not apply anything to darken.
I am doing a couple of blades with nice blade etching and have been wondering how to darken the etch? I was thinking of cleaning with brake cleaner then paint a coat of thinned flat black Revell’s modelers paint, a quick wipe, lite sand with high grit wet & dry and re polish by hand with a stiff backing, foam or wood shaped to the blade.
Has anyone had any success with bluing, acid or paint?
