Want instructions for decorative etching (nitric acid) on flat silver pendants
I need to know where to purchase the nitric acid used in making decorative designs in flat silver for use in my jewelry. I also need instructions in using the nitric acid safely. All I know presently is that I should use two parts water to one part nitric acid and that the water should be in the bath first before adding the nitric acid. I am looking for a book or online tutorial with instructions.

Abbey chemicals is a good place to buy nitric acid.
