Hello Guys, I'm practicing my art and acid-etching skills on a fruit knife (kinda old lol, it's rusty and kinda ruined, so don't mind the finish on the blade) before doing it on my Balisong. And the problem is I only knew a few options to mask the knife which are Nail Polish (So hard to draw with this lol ) and Correction Pen( White-out pen/Liquid Paper Pen ). Still, the problem is the line coming out from these options is too big so it's kinda hard to draw and the result is kinda bad ( 2 last two pictures) Do you guys know any other method so I can mask the knife easier?

-The 1st and 2nd pics are when I prepare for the acid etching with the Correction Pen ( Before )

-The 3rd and 4th pics are the result but it still has the acid etch layer

-The last 2 pics are the final result (sandpapering the acid layer )
