Hi.

I bought my Ferric Chloride off of Ebay, theres plenty on there. I was told by someone to dilute it, but it worked perfectly well without.

I too have discovered some 'veil of secrecy' surrounding the method to show the Wootz. I find it a bit sad that fellow collectors seemed unwilling to share their knowledge. We are all interested in the subject so why not share?

Anyway, it appears I have cracked it and Im only too pleased to let others know how.

Happy Wootz hunting!!!!
