How to etch letters before protecting the surface patina
This is a sculptural project I’ve been working on. The “bell” is a \~3/4” thick steel boiler cap. The “clapper” is wind activated. The support is an antique machine base. There have been some refinements to the striker portion of the clapper arm since this pic was taken , but this is largely the finished piece. Before I apply a protectant solution over the surface patina, I’d like to somehow etch some wording into the circumference, just above the strike line. How might I best go about that? Thanks #industry
