I want to make some aluminum ID tags for a project. Did my usual YouTube searches. Found one that sounded simple and gave it a try this week end. NaOH (Drano.)
It etched to .016" deep in about 12 hours. It came out very smooth. I mixed a fairly concentrated 1/2 pint of water and the NaOH. A paper printed with laser toner works as a resist.
