Welding and metal work

I would like to get checked out on the welding and metal hand tools equipment. I have experience, just need for it to be official.

David, would you mind stating your availability? Then I can work on helping find an instructor to get you checked out.

Hey cliff it was great to meet with you and thanks for the heads up in the metal area. I have a last minute project that I have to get done by Friday. I want to etch lettering into an antique straight razor. Any idea where I could get some ferric chloride acid?

I have read that muriatic acid will do the job, and you can get that at the big box hardware stores as pool cleaner or concrete etching solution. I’ve only every used hydrochloric, though, so I can’t speak from experience.

I’ve been using muriatic acid mixed with hydrogen peroxide on copper with great results, but it doesn’t work without the peroxide. I have a gallon of muriatic acid which is way more than I need if you’d like to avoid also getting a gallon you can have a bit of mine, if it’s more of a rush the only place I could find it was Lowe’s
