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.

Good to have the information.
Phew, you were sailing close to the “Wisdom of the Hands” line of irrelevance.
