    I can't seem to find any etching solution for my new Junglas, I want to etch and strip it. Any ideas on what else i could use or would anyone have a little they could send me? Radio shack has seemed to stop carrying it at least in the Phoenix area. Thanks guys for all your help!!

    I have some I could send you if you need. Just need to find a little bottle or something to put it in.

    Muratic Acid & hydrogen Peroxide. 1 part Muratic/2 parts Peroxide. The addition of peroxide into the muratic acid add oxygen, and makes for an aggressive etch-ant.

    aggressive etching......keep an eye on it. MUCH faster than Ferric Chloride, easier to find the chemical, and cheaper.

    I have been playing around with etching for the first time. I found etchant at a local jewelry supply shop, Rings and Things in Spokane has it and sells it online.
