Advice needed
I'm looking to age a blade that I make with a patina like mustard or horse raddish. How fine of grit should I go to for a good looking job, or does it matter terribly.

I take mine to 400 before etching, if that helps.
I have never used mustard. I've heard a vinegur soaked rag to wrap up inside a plastic bag works too. 400 grit should work. Geno |
