Quick Question About Stencils

[savagebushcraft]

Hi guys n girls.

Hope this is in the right place.

Does anyone here make electro etching stencils for makers marks, or has anyone got any information on a UK based company that can make customer designed etching stencils.

Thanks in advance

Adam

I don't know about makers of stencils, but would something like http://www.riccibitti.com/pcb/pcb.htm work? I have seen PCB's etched using this method, and the acids used might be similar to what your using.

Edit, found this tutorial: Etching

Thanks for the post Darren, but I'm lacking a laser printer lol. Have a house full of inkjets.

I've tried printing onto acetate sheet, but so far it's always smudged when I've tried to transfer it.

Other than the stencil, I use pretty much the same method as the tutorial, just with a 5A 12V supply, instead of a PP3.

Try this guy, he's great to deal with and sends them all over the world, I know you mentioned uk based but if you look through his sample stencils you'll see how many folk trust him for his stencils

Awesome. Thanks Woodcutter. I'll send him an email and see what happens.

Thanks again
