Ah, cool! Ferric is good, but be prepared for everything you own to turn yellow lol.
We did a bit of aluminium etching using copper sulphate, which is cheap and easy but the etching process is pretty hectic - lots of spitting and fizzing

I am leaning towards the caustic soda method at the moment, slower but less discolouration. I have some old aluminium plate to experiment with.Originally Posted by JohnH

Good call. Less mess, and slow is usually better when the etching itself is the artwork as you have more control.
