Does anyone here do etched magnesium or zinc plates...or have a good vendor to suggest? My customer is looking for some donor recognition plaques that will look like cast bronze , but be much less expensive. I used to know of a guy in Mulberry, Indiana ( I think it was) but I can't remember his business name. It's been years since anyone has asked for cast magnesium.

Looking for any good leads.... thanks!

You know, I remember that post, Rodne....it was one of the very first I read when I joined way back when. I think I'm brave enough to try that now and experiment a bit with it and I may just follow Scott's lead until i perfect the technique. Thanks again , both!
