    Jug

    Remove grease, oil, and dirt from your concrete floors.
    Etching Cleaner—Etching cleaners prepare unfinished concrete for coating and patching. Often used in warehouses, light manufacturing facilities, and machine shops, they leave a rough, etched finish for strong coating adhesion. Pour these cleaners onto your floor and scrub with a stiff-bristle brush or broom.

    Electrochemical Etchers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electrochemical Etchers.
    Mark surfaces with handwritten messages, designs, or logos. Draw your message on stencil paper using a scriber or other sharp point, then place the stencil on your metal marking surface. To transfer the message, wet the pad on the etcher with etching solution and press it over the stencil, then touch the grounding wire to your marking surface to activate the solution. Marks are black. Use the included DC voltage adapter clip to make clear and frosted marks.

    Create messages or logos on your computer, then transfer them to stencils for use with an electrochemical etcher. To make a stencil, print your message or logo on a transfer sheet, place it in the ultraviolet exposure unit with a sheet of stencil paper to transfer the image, then soak the stencil paper in developer to develop the image.

    More voltage allows you to engrave on heavy scale and rusted metal. Melt surface material and create marks without vibration. Write with the metal tip like a pencil. A knob allows you to control the depth and width of the marks. Welding goggles are recommended for use with this machine.
    Carbide Tip—Carbide tips resist wear better than the copper tip.
