Touchmark Round 2: Acid Etching Method

5 years ago

A few weeks ago I showed you how to make a touchmark to stamp your logo into your armor. In this video, I revisit this idea, but do it in a much simpler way. I use a Cricut vinyl cutter to make the logo. Then I use saltwater and vinegar and let the chemical solution do all the hard work for me. Instead of taking four or five hours, this took about 45 minutes total, and I didn't have to carve any intricate details.

I forgot to mention in the video how much salt, water, and vinegar I used. I didn't measure it out exactly, but about 1 cup of vinegar, 5 cups of water, and 1/3 cup of salt. Boil the salt in water to ensure it has dissolved completely. Allow to cool, then etch.
