acid etching front panel graphics

[fum]

One thing to be carefull with electro-chemical etch. If you're doing a panel that has clear anodize, it may not work. You need to be on bare metal for it to do it's thing.

Here's a link to another board where someone discusses the results he's getting using electrochemical etch of steel. Might be useful to some:

They also talk about the EOM chemicals being dilute HCL.
