Etch Your Sgian for Little to No Cost?

[O'Neille]

I found this cure for cabin fever on another website and had to try it. My new tartancarta sgian became the victim of more experimentation.

All you need are a 9 volt battery, two alligator clips, q-tips, salt, water and fingernail polish. I told you it was a cure for cabin fever. You don't even need to leave the house.

Here are the tools. Notice the negative lead is touching the saline soaked swab. Also if you put a lot of salt in the water and microwave it you get sparks.



For the Saltire I used a technique of putting a piece of sticker paper on the piece, cutting out the design and removing what you don't want etched. Paint over it with fingernail polish and then remove the masked areas.
