Harlan, But safer by far is 'Ferric Chloride', which in my opinion produces superior results. Hey Nitric is nasty stuff!
See http://www.meteoritetimes.com/Back_Links/2002/November/meteorites_101.ht m (Written By Jim.) You can get Ferric Chloride from places like Radio Shack or electronics suppliers (as it's used for etching Electronic Circuit Boards) Mark F. -----Original Message----- From: Roman Nakonechny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 October 2003 20:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] etchin' juice Yo Harlan, I bought some a while back- 70% HNO3 . So nasty/pure that it'll melt the pennies in your pocket- no kidding. John and his wife Nancy Run the Operation. You have to dillute it to 10% with alcohol. Ask John to be sure. Unless you have experience with Nitric , better be careful. John might be able to pre-mix it or dillute it to 10% for you- be much cheaper that way. At 70% pure it will nitrify your finger cells and turn them yellow. A week after, your skin will drop off. I had a learning experience .
