Default etching

the part you are missing is that etching is a acid and will eat rust just as well as iron. do not soak the piece in any oil yet. It will just screw up the etch. The only reason you completly sand a barrell down is so when you do the etch you get a complete mirror finish on it. the longest I have ever etched a piece was 17 days for a slow etch. A quick etch can be done in a few minutes
