Now that I've finally found a good etching resist pen for electrolytic etching, I will have copper beads regularly available in my shop again. I'm really glad to be able to offer these again, because I love making things for other crafters to use in their work. And who doesn't love a great big chunky bead?
Hi Alison. Do you mind sharing what resist pen you are using? I do a fair amount of electrolytic etching too, and I've not found a pen that holds up to the etching process 100%, but use liquid acrylic paint (that takes time to dry etc). A pen I can trust to do the job would be much easier. Would be intereste in knowing what you have found to work!
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
ReplyDeleteI use the DecoColor paint pen shown in the previous post. I should add that I do my etching with a D Battery, so I don't know whether or not it would stand up to a higher current. Good luck!
Sorry, I noticed that when I continued reading your blog just after posting that comment :) Will definitely try to get my hands on one of these pens and give it a go...

No problem ;)
ReplyDeleteI got mine at my local craft store, but I've seen that Dick Blick has them too.
