Thanks, Ed. Will attend our local SPCA's next cat adoption event...

I know about needing a strong nose for arms repair work. In India, the deep etch on damascus gun barrels was done by plugging the muzzle and touchhole of a polished and degreased tube, and burying it in a trough filled with cow dung. It was periodically taken out, scrubbed with wood ash, and re-interred over a period of a month or so.

My neighbors will not look kindly on this if I tried it in my back yard. I've gotten good results using a ferric chloride solution, fortunately. Just gotta monitor and neutralize carefully.
