DuPont makes it if I am not mistaken. It is used to make bearing bushes for valves and the like. The price is not quite up to Moglice standards. But $100 is also quickly paid for that stuff. I forget what the etching liquid is, but it is quite aggressive and very nasty (only for use in 3rd world :) The supplier always makes me wait a few days "for the weather to get right for etching". In any case I see you are of the generation of "the wooden ships and the iron men" I learned my trade on the iron ships, see. cheers, j. > > (with an etched > > surface, otherwise the glue does not hold) onto the running surface of a > > taper gib. > > Etched with what acid? > > > Like 2mm thick or so.
