We offer these technical papers, originally presented as workshops, in a spirit of sharing information. There are currently five papers*:

Etching
An introduction to etching copper-based metals such as brass, bronze or copper, using ferric chloride.

Silver Etching
Silver etching using ferric nitrate. Read the Etching paper first.

Photocopy Resist
Photocopying or laser printing onto transfer film as a method for etching resists. Read Etching paper first.

Roller Printing
Using a rolling mill for printing patterns on metal.

Multi-metal Lamination
Layering different coloured metals together using solder and the rolling mill to create patterns.

[*Potentially hazardous materials, chemicals and methods are involved in some of these techniques. It is your responsibility to decide if you have enough skill and knowledge to proceed.]
