Toby;
Thanks, from Angier's book was what had caused me to wonder about its use as an etchant for damascus. As I recall he just mentioned it for removing the old browning, rust etc prior to polishing but not per se as for bringing out the pattern in damascus. From his description it struck me it could be uised for this purpose. Thanks for confirming that.
