Step 1: Your Pix on Metal(simplest Method)

What you'll need

a. For pix template

1. Print on Film for laser(incjet) printing

2. Cut black-printed parts on film(like in 1,2,5,6,7 photos)

3. Stick prepared template to metal (methal must be clean and defatted)

4. Paint the other parts of metal using oil varnish

b. Acid preparation

you'll need

1. One packet of food citric acid (50g in any local shop)

2. Two botles (100ml) of peroxide( in any pharmacy store)

Photos 4-5-6-7 and result 9-10-11 (a chemical reaction 1hour)

Not that on photos 10 and 11 i used nitric acid for numbers. (a chemical reaction 1 minute)

In all my next creations i use Photoresist method like in PCB. Using photoresist method you'll get excellent quality in transferred picture
