In reply to Albert. Thanks so much Albert! I usually mix it pretty weak b/c it doesn't seem to take much. I typically put about 2 tablespoons in a spray bottle and then fill the rest with water (for both chemicals). It takes a little trial and error to figure out what works best for you, but you can always spray more to continue to enhance the colors. Let me know if that helps. Good luck!! - DIY PETE

Great project I was wondering what the mixing ratio was for the ferric nitrate and potassium sulfate that you used. Thanks

Thanks Herby! I’d say it is a good 3 or 4 hour project if you’ve done metal work before. So a good afternoon or evening project:) – DIY PETE

In reply to Robert Genochio. Thanks Robert! That is a great idea. I ended up gifting my older brother with this so I'll have to find him some led lights to really make it look neat. Have a good one!

looks fantastic! just thinking it might be pretty cool to add some sort of lighting behind the metal work for a more dramatic look. (small led bulbs or strip lighting perhaps).

Looks good man! I’m impressed you did this without a CNC!
