Laser Etchant

Post by slick »

Hi All,
I have just recently joined a "club" called TechShop (http://techshop.ws). I have access to the epilog 40w laser there and I'd like to etch my iPod. I watched a couple of the videos and saw some picture here of etched iPods. I'm looking for information on the etchant spray mentioned in one of the videos for etching the iPods. I'm guessing that it can be used on other shiny surfaces that would normally not be etchable. Any help or advice would eb great!!
