Metal Etching Kits
Easy (really!) kit with instructions for etching computer circuit board material. The boards are pre-cut to ATC size (2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ — playing card size) OR 4-3/4″ x 7″ (12cm x 18cm — Art Money size) and the kit comes with dry etchant (so it can be mailed safely) that you mix with water.
In a nutshell: the book covers/ATCs in these photos were made using copper-clad fiberglass computer circuit boards (they’re solid copper-colored until you etch them. aka not like the green boards in your computer that are already etched).
You can rubber stamp (using StazOn solvent ink) or just doodle with pens as the mask (I use Sharpie brand pens). The mask part is what is hidden from the etchant, so what will remain copper in the finished piece. You can also use the etchant mix to strip finishes off metal objects and corrode (rust) them.
