Q. I understand that this ideally should be used heated up, but is it possible to use it cold too? I'm guessing it will just take longer to etch?

Q. i want to use ferric chloride to pour onto my pots and fire them in a reducing atmosphere in the kiln.they are wrapped in baking foil to seal them and with a few combustible materials can produce spectacular effects.would i need to dilute the solution or use as supplied?
Many thanks.
A. Hi Martin, thanks for your question.
We supply this for electronics use. For safety reasons we cannot comment on other non standard uses. You can try it but at your own risk, some chemicals when mixed with others and heated can cause explosion.
