"Etching of aluminum sculpture"



-----

2003

Can you tell me how I can etch aluminum at home. It is a little sculpture and I need to make it a little darker! I would really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

Just rub it with olive oil (but very thin) and then bake it in your oven (30-60 min./250-300 °C). You can use egg white too. Sorry if my English is bad! Instead oven you can use hot air gun.

Good luck! Goran Budija
