Salt Water Etching for Jewelers
Переглядів 106 тис.10 років тому
This is a new and improved demo of Salt Water Etching. My previous slide show: ua-cam.com/video/-0lZuin_3eg/v-deo.html was a good beginning. This video is very comprehensive. Salt water solution etching is a safe, economical way of etching copper or brass with no dangerous chemicals or irritants.

This is a safe and non-acid way of etching copper or brass. The process I use is for jewelry making and I teach my high school students how to do this. The ingredients you need are: Kosher salt, distilled water, D battery and battery holder, wire caps (small), plastic container, copper or brass sheet, type of resist such as a sharpie.
Very good teacher 👏
Thank you for this!❤ love your bracelet - do you have a video on making that?
Lit
I’m smelly
Thank you! This is the best demonstrational video of the technique I've found.
This looks great! Can’t wait to try it. How do you dispose of the solution when it’s been spent?
Thank you for this upload. I have used your tutorial a few times to remember as I always forget which is the annode and catode. Thanks :)
Cut the music. It is just distracting and unneeded.
5:34 what was that?
Never mind the liver of sulphur, you need to emphasise the importance of doing the electrolysis in a well-ventilated room. Electrolysis of salt water produces chlorine gas and hydrogen. The first will poison you and the second will blow you to bits.
I watched the video awesome,I am impressed this technique is so easily done,Thank you for the great videos!
Thank you for the tutorial awesome information, And I love that it's safe and there are no dangerous chemicals.
Can you etch aluminum this way?
I have some concerns about this process and I'd appreciate your thoughts on this... According to the metallurgist Midnight_cheeseater, on Reddit "Using saltwater as your etching electrolyte can be rather problematic due to competing side reactions. The main one, of course, being electrolysis of salt, which produces chlorine at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode. So you would have a toxic gas and a highly flammable gas to deal with."
Does it matter what size wire caps you use?
How do you attach the wire to the battery/battery holder?
I also have this question.
Hi, I was wondering if any of the etched material that is left in the water requires special disposal? Is it just fine particulate of the metal or does the process make other compounds?
What do you use to pickle.?? ...Thanks for sharing.!!
Thank you very much! Please tell me where that I can purchase a dragon fly paper punch?
Oh Danielle. Boy do I wish that I knew this technic 55 years ago. Thank you for the information and the wonderful presentation. I had a little trouble with the audio. I will do my best to pass this along.
Thanks for this! Very easy to understand, and you cover all the bases. Great reference.
Thanks so much for this detailed demo! I'd never heard of this technique. I like that the solution uses no acid and it can be used "over and over again". Easier to dispose of too I suppose! I think I like the alligator clip method. Seems quicker, once soldered, than twisting the caps on and off for each project and probably easier for my arthritic hands. Would heavy duty clear packing tape, well burnished, work as well as clear contact "paper" for covering/resisting the back of the project? Thanks again!
Yes, any tape works fine, I have found. I have even used duct tape. Good luck and I hope you show your results! Have fun
Thanks for your quick answer. Hope to try this soon. TFS! Would love to see more videos of this sort from you, in your spare time, of course.
bravo fah .
Please, could you tell me the reason to use distilled water? If I recon the water is saturated with table salt anyway.
You are probably correct. I was going off directions I had from when I first started, but have tried with tap water...no problem. Thank you !
Can I use house electricity??
Only if you use a transformer (like a wall charger) to convert to DC. Straight AC house current could (at best) give you a bad shock or (at worst) kill you.
I have seen on other sites, that yes you can, with some sort of adapter
What size of battery I need if I want to etch piece of copper 10 by 10 inch???
I might use 2 D batteries. Awesome...good luck!
Nice work,simply explained,totally clear.Well done and thanks for sharing.May the road rise to meet you and the wind be always at your back.!
Nice! Thank you!
Hello, the silk screen also works very well and creates the possibility to do the drawing you want.
can the leftover water be used to electroplate copper onto something?
absolutely, such as brass!
Can this be done on silver & bronze metal clay
Great question, I have not considered, but I hope that I can research this more and offer advice!
Brilliant instructional video.Delivered in a calm unhurried and professional manner.A pleasure to watch.Moreover this video attracted many respectful comments which contained very interesting additional information.I have watched it often enough to have it etched into my memory.[Sorry,could'nt resist the pun].Seriously though,well done and thanks for posting.
will this work with brass? thanx
Yes it does, but brass is hard, and takes a bit longer to etch. Have success!
Thank you everyone for the kind and encouraging comments. We are all learning from each other, which is awesome! I will be teaching this to my high school students starting in March. Very excited to implement new and exciting techniques that can be paired with this method.
WHY couldn't YOU be teaching MY science classes when I WAS IN SCHOOL?? Terrific. Thank You! There IS HOPE for the U.S. educational system.
This is such a great video! Thank you for making it. I have saltwater etched before with several problems and it did not work ... your video is so clear and concise that I feel confident to try it again!
Thank you , and I hope you can share your results!
very clever and fine woman.
This was great!!! Thank you!!!
How are the wires attached to the battery?
the battery is placed in a battery holder, which can be found at Radio Shack (if you can find one!!) or a hobby shop, or electronics supply store, online...

What is the battery holder thing you buy from radio shack, I am in the UK and sadly we don't have a RShack, loved the store when I lived in Canada :) Jackie

Thank you :)
I think, using acetone to clean off the sharpie after etching would be better than sanding it off.
+deinesippestinkt I have never tried that, although it probably will work, I just have always sanded it off with a fine grit.
If your etch is not very deep, or if you use a heavy touch, you run the risk of sanding down the detail of your etch. But on the other hand, it lessens the toxic chemicals you're using.
Do you use scrape copper to etch brass or do you ne a scrape brass piece?
+Sharon B Copper is used to etch the brass, it does take longer to etch brass, but works great! Enjoy
Will copper stain skin?
I can't wait to try this!!! I use lemon juice and salt for s pickle and this is also a safe & natural way to etch........thank you!!!!! It's like a science project!!!
+karen pridemore I am now going to also try the lemon juice and salt for the pickle. I really do not like the commercial one. Thank you for your suggestion!
do you have printed out version of this? thanks
+Nadine Thola I teach hands on , and do not use handouts. But if you like , I could put the directions on here for you, or email them to you. It would be later, during the summer
How long will this solution last for, to be reused before it's not very effective? Can you put a lid on it and use it the next day?
+Little Cherry Hill - Metalsmith I keep the salt indefinitely, If the water evaporates, I just add more. Works very well for a long time!
can you use rechargeable batteries?
starlineks You certainly can. I buy my D batteries at the dollar store, cheap!
Is the 18 gauge wire that you wrap around the copper also made of copper?
khloe38 Thanks for watching. Yes, the wire is also copper. I buy all my copper at any metal recycling facility, Copper sells for about $4.30 per/lb.
Thanks for the video, Danielle. Definitely going to try this. Can you do more than one piece at a time?
+Dee Hanson I can fit about 3-4 small pieces at a time, I suspend them on one wire. Good luck!
Thank you!!
Great video, I didn't know that we can etch with salt water. It willhelp for my future etched stuff.
