Sure, just keep in mind when you make your nital that and look for the 
99.99% pure alcohol that even concentrated nitric acid is 30% water 
(same as the low grade isopropanol from the supermarket).

Hello all.

I am going to perform my first etch, of a Sikhote-Alin slice with 
Nitol, but I
was wondering if Isopropyl can be substituted for the Ethanol?  Any 
advise would
be apreciated.

Thanks
Craig
