I'm in some dire need of help.
I have been etching aluminum with Caustic Soda. It seems to work pretty well. The process I have been using has been extremely tedious. Here is what I do:
I screen print a reverse image on the aluminum. I apply the caustic soda to the exposed areas. After the acid etches, I strip the ink then register the image to a screen that is right reading then print again.
I came across someone who mentioned etch and fill. This technique is slightly different than the one I'm using and is more accurate. Does anyone know of this process? I have searched everywhere and come up short everytime. I was told I would still screen print, but that was the extent of their knowledge on it.
Thanks
