    I wrote about using ImageOn for etching in my last post and after
    reading some of the other descriptions I would like to add that
    ImagOn is fairly simple to use. There are several steps, but it
    basically is not difficult and has superb results. The chemicals used
    can be bought easily in stores/garden shops- ammonia and soda ash
    (sodium carbonate) which is used for pools- PH plus. Don't confuse
    that with Sodium bisulfate which is PH minus used for pickle. 

    When you order the ImagOn from Daniel Smith Art Supply Store in
    Seattle, they send the directions. Follow them carefully and you
    should get some of the best results possible; the detail is amazing.
    (the product is used for printmaking) With careful light exposure it
    works every time. You can get rid of all those pens, asphaltum and
    all the rest of that stuff. 

Cheers, 	
Louise
