Kevin Hudson Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I am about to to make my first foray into the use of photo etched parts. Can you advise. Do you have to heat treat the PE before bending or can you just carry on and get on with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If it's brass it should bend readily, stainless steel might need heating up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Stainless bends easily, the trick is that you only get one bend so it best be right. I use a lot of PE, I think it has a good purpose. Many of the short run kits have etched parts so if anyone wants to dip their toes into photo etch I suggest a short run kit like MPM or one of the other Czech makers that have small amounts of etch.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
