[Jewelry making - Article 00937] - [Orchid] Etching, Painter's tape

    Today I was in a paint store and bought some light green masking
    tape, called painter's tape.  It is thinner, stickier and stronger
    than regular tan colored masking tape. 

    It occurred to me that it may be  great for etching because its'
    specifically for critical surfaces. This may be an ideal product to
    mask the back of a piece, or,, because it is so strong, be cut like a
    stencil.    

    My question; Has anyone tried this product?  If so,  how did it
    work?  

    Or, have you tried the blue tape? 

Thanks in advance..
Frif
