I etched this copper switch plate and now it
graces my guest bathroom. The whole project took about 2 hours (actual
prep time: about 10 minutes). |

Tom Koehl patinated this
outlet cover with a Torch. It's a quick way to make copper show off its
potential
colors. Protect this patina with either a lacquer spray or with wax. Find out more about patinas and sealers in Christine Cox's booklet "Coloring Base Metals: A Practical Guide" Patina: noun; ex., "The outlet cover had a beautiful patina." Patinate: verb; ex., "Tom patinated the outlet cover." |

We also sell copper, brass
and nickel stock for your fabrication and etching needs. |

StazOn Inkpad and Refill This is the BEST ink for using as a resist for etching metal. It is solvent-based so it acts as a durable resist that stands up to the agitation and long etching times that give the deepest and best looking results. Every pad is accompanied by a refill bottle of ink. Stamp on metal and other porous and non-porous surfaces (shrink plastic, wood, leather, coated paper, glass, ceramic, laminated paper, plastic (not recommended for fabric) Black only. Clean stamps with Ranger Solvent Stamp Cleaner for best results. $14.50 Inkpad and Refill |

Ranger/Inkssentials Solvent Stamp Cleaner This is the BEST solvent stamp cleaner I've found! It's great for removing solvent stamping inks (StazOn springs to mind) but it's also great for removing Sharpie marker from metal and so many other tasks that other stamp cleaners just can't do. Christine uses this a lot here at the Volcano Arts Studio.
