Anyone have a good link source for an enclosure etching tutorial?

I've written some quick text tutorials on how I do it. I'll see if I can find one and post it here. I do mine a little differently than MarkM (although his results are unquestionably outstanding). Slade's, too.

Anybody know if Ferric Chloride and Sodium Persulfate Powder(from Smallbear) work the same for etching aluminum enclures? Or any other ideas for what to use. Thanks.

Thanks gtr2! That helps a bunch, great tutorial.


Still need to know about the etching solutions from anyone else.

Thanks.

I haven't done it myself, but my roommate's successfully used ferric chloride to etch enclosures - the same process that's used in the link gtr2 provided.
