how did you do it and was it easy?

 

[The Green Lantern]

its really easy if your good with a knife

first i cleaned what i was etching really good and then covered it with sandblasting paper,it s kida like a sticky vinyl paper
then drew the design on it
then take a hobby knife(make sure you have shit loads of blades and allways use a sharp one)
then cut out everything you want etched
the apply your acid evenly,i used a rubber paint brush,let sit (time depends on the acid)the carefully wash it off with a garden hose,do it over a drain of somekind,you dont wanna get this stuff on your hands
then just pull off the paper(carefully)and clean the surface again to get the sticky residue off

ill post up a pick of a mirror i did later
