hey i just found out a new way for ppl to weather their copper only sabers, go to a photography store, and ask them for silver nitrate, if they have it buy alot, then go home and pour it in a big containrer,put ur copper saber in there and it gives it a really mysterious/cool look, cause of the chemical reaction

Edit- do not try this, for i have not tried it yet, ive heard it gives u fantastic results.

In his defence, I told him to...

But he didn't say not to try it on the original topic. That's kind of odd.

uhhh prolly gonna be bout 90k cause silver nitrate is very acidic, so if u try on your own, please be extremely careful, wear latex gloves, wear eye protecion, and wear protective clothing. i have alot of experience with chemicals, because i have had 2 years of chemistry.

What school lets there kids use chemicals anymore? or am I the product of an underbudget public school?

My sci teacher had to fight to make disections part of his cirriculum for a Honors/Gifted class.[V]

No offence but you are a product of an underbudget public school, because we have worked with sodium, potasium, chlorine, and many more

Edit- oh and btw for whoever wants to buy chemicals go to www.unitednuclear.com

One thing I learned in Chemisty lab...
Silver Nitrate stains. So if you're going to try it out, wear gloves, and clothes you don't mind getting messed up.

That is, unless you want to have weird brown stains on your hands for a couple weeks.

Also, if you're going to do this, I'd say test it on some scraps first, and see if you really want to do this. I didn't use silver nitrate on copper, but it could def. be interesting.

Somewhat on topic: Silver Nitrate doesn't stain... It burns. The "weird black marks" left if you get it on your skin are burns. They're generall harmless unless you get a lot of it over a large part of your body. Example: a while back, a reporter wanted to see what black people were going through (back when seggregation was around), so he covered his whole body with silver nitrate. Caused some nasty skin cancer later on in life.

And that's your useless tidbit of knowledge for the day. [:p]

I don't disagree that the media can be dawgs but I believe that archammer was relaying a story of a fellow who did this back in the 50's and of course that means they most likely didn't know the problems with doing what they did.

I do agree though that this has been going for a while now and it seems to be that there is a failure to produce pics. Let's see what this looks like.

I know you threw it out and all, but didn't you think we might be interested in how it looks, instead of that it works. We might have liked to see it so we don't waste a whole saber for an appearance we may not like at the end.

Yeah, the reporter did this way back. Early half of the 20th century. :P Back when smoking was good for you, women didn't work and the government was completely honest. And Uranium would be put in flashlights as a cheap replacement for batteries.
