When doing background removal, what is the general rule of thumb as to when you would acid etch the metal vs removing it w/a graver or air grinder?
My question is driven by the 2013 FEGA rifle where the team etched the metal to make the scene w/ the rocks and buffalo. Normally I’ve just used grinders, gravers and punches, but the results using etching produced a very different “feelâ€. I’ve not done etching like was used on the rifle, and the question has been in the back of my brain. I’m just looking those that have more experience.
Thanks much
