I cut a few slabs of O1 steel to be kanabans.  Since diamond grit will inbed itself into the steel, I want to label each plate seperately in a clear and permanent way.

So I am trying a few experiments.  First off, I have sprayed enamel on them.  I plant to scratch through the enamel and then soak the plates in vinegar.  I have not yet tried etching this way so it promises to be a learning experience.

I will give more data as it progresses.
