What is chemical etching?
Chemical etching is a technique that is fast and efficient method of etching artwork, sigils, monograms etc into metal. Chemical etching allows much higher levels of accuracy without any burr. The shape or design does not limit you. An acidic solution is applied which then eats away at the metal, leaving the etched pattern or design remaining. Each sheet of metal has a design applied, along with a photo-resist to protect the design from the acid. When the acid is applied, it dissolves the remaining metal to a point where just the design remains.
Can OTOEL etch any design?
