Unless you cover the work and your head in a trash bag … with a 9v battery it’s not something to worry about. At that point I still think the trash bag over your face is more concerning.
Nail varnish worked well and permanent marker to a degree. I did use some vinyl and put a crocodile head on my craft axe. Turned out great. Definitely use a larger sticker. I found out the hard way too.
Car battery charger is the way to do it. Most people have one. Also, once you've etched to a depth you're happy with, you can switch the wires around to darken the etch.
This is exactly what i need for a project thanks! Would I be correct in assuming id need a higher voltage/ salination to make the effect greater? Thanks so much!
@@nutsbquakin5589 yes, but you don’t want to go too high. It’s DC not AC (it’s got to be off a battery) it’s also worth doing it with one you can recharge as it ate up my 9v ones
I used to just lick the battery, but this seems a good alternative, thanks!
I wouldn't do that on a larger scale though, because the electrolysis of salt water can cause toxic chlorine gas to form, if I remember correctly

That's legitimate. I'm gonna try that.
It’s very cool!
I've had a huge roll of self-adhesive plastic for ages. I finally gave it away last week. Dang it!
Anytime you part with that material you've been holding onto, shortly after, you'll have the perfect use for it
@@Thatguy-hc3ed That is so true.😂
Tell them you want it back. 😁
@AndrewDaley-lr9qg Nah. It's already gone. (I gave it to the Red Cross charity shop.)😄

@@Ruth_Amos I was going to say you'd go through 9V batteries quickly this way!
Can't you just use a bench power supply? How many amps is it pulling? I'll try 15A with a higher voltage if needed
@@polycrystallinecandy 15A! You might want to start a bit lower. I don't think you'll get anything close to that from a regular 9V.
@@willmcgo8288 you are probably right! I'm so used to using lithium cells which deliver high current. I will start at 1A
Looks like cricut sticker material would make for nice stencils.
What metals does this work on?
Ive been using some kind of (ferric?) acid to etch on copper and brass. This looks a lot tidier
I’m saving this video ❤
Would this work for aluminum?
What's the stencil made of?
@@Undrcvrndst just vinyl on a cricut
damn thats so cool :D
I thought you'd need something more powerful than a 9V battery
I like that👍
You are very pretty.
Weirdo
Well, electrolysis is electrolysis no matter what scale
Neat!
I would just use a lab power supply.
Car battery is better... 😊
a car battery works quicker
Just imagine the result if you use 240v. Just kidding...NO, STOP!
it is called a battery not batchwee
is your name actually “danistan” that’s tragic
