I have a number of very successful etching needles made from broken dental tools. An etching needle should be sharpened to a conical point slightly blunted. It should not scratch the copper but go equally well in all directions, gliding on the copper and not digging into it. To OTHER GRAPHIC ARTS 79 sharpen the needle, place it between the palms of the hands and holding the point at an angle on the oilstone rub the hands to- gether. Describe circles of varying sizes on a sheet of cardboard to p...olish the point. Do this until the point will glide on the thumb- nail without catching. Dry-Point Needles are the same shape as etching needles, but are of much harder steel. They are made very sharp for cutting the copper. Asphaltum Varnish or French Polish is used for painting over the back and sides of the plate to protect it from the acid. The Tray for Acid can be of porcelain, enamel ware, or any flat-bottomed dish that is impervious to acid. In Paris, trays of papier- mache, covered with many coats of Brunswick Black, are to be had.
