Hi all,
I am looking for somewhere to buy an acid solution for doing etch tests on welded joints. Mild Steel predominantly but also perhaps Ali and SS.
The solution for MS is 10% nitric acid diluted in ethanol, but the only place I have found so far (CamLab Ltd.) won't sell small amounts - I'm after a ltr or 2.
Does anyone know where I can get this or a suitable alternative? I can find YT videos of welders using household products in the U.S. (probably from Home Depot or Harbour Freight!) but no UK suggestions.
Many Thanks!
