Some graf writers have taken the practice of scratchiti to a new level by tagging up the shatter-proof polycarbonate windows of subway trains with homemade markers filled with acidic etching solution, which eats into the plastic windows and leaves a permanent tag. As the MTA is remiss to replace these expensive windows, the tend to run rather permanently on the line. Daily, I see many Sntatch tags on the 2/3 subway line in Brooklyn. Sometimes he also tags up the words "Etch King" after his name. www.at149st.com/scratch.html This article has been viewed 7955 times in the last 3 years Jamie: 14th Sep 2005 - 14:22 GMTdoes the word snatch have the same meaning in the us as it does in the uk?
Jamie: 14th Sep 2005 - 14:38 GMTaah.. it's true what they say. We are two nations seperated by.... the atlantic ocean. ahem.
Peter: 14th Sep 2005 - 18:47 GMTi agree. but nevertheless, there are folks out there that have never seen it before... Jime 10, boston, MA, usa: 14th Sep 2005 - 23:21 GMTfuck etch? etch is totally a natural progression of graffiti. just like those stupid wild style murals where you can't even make out a single letter in a 15 color spaghetti "burner" with tons of doodads but no REAL style but everybody drools over it anyways... ever since the cleaning of NYC subway trains in the 80s, graffiti has been - and always will be - destructive. take it or leave it. there isn't really any middle ground. in a capitalist society, graffiti is destructive by nature. etch ruins a window just as much as spraypaint ruins all kinds of various surfaces. Steven, Toronto, Canada: 16th Sep 2005 - 04:23 GMTPeter, fec tfv: 8th Nov 2005 - 23:17 GMTback in my days,, it was all ink.. you name it,, supermarket ink in al colors.. from 1980s to the 90s..i use to kill shit in the inside lines... in bklyn.. tfv4life.. wish if that shit came back.. i miss the old days..tfv, tbkings CAEn.y.: 11th May 2006 - 01:02 GMTis that OWE etcked under his tag in the second picture?owe is a writer in my area.
curious: 25th Dec 2006 - 07:28 GMTAnyone know how to make those etch markers? Do you have to mix the stuff with anything or its just straight up armor etch? Tyler: 1st Jan 2007 - 02:39 GMTYou could use acid bath, but that's dangerous as a gypsy. But you mix half vinigar, half milk, and make sure it doesnt get washed off.. make sure you let it sit for like an hour NEWK RoK: 11th Feb 2007 - 03:23 GMTDude i been using etch with my crew nd we just use etch bath it rocks on the window,nd i live in new york my boy got a few etch tags on the 7 train,and etch cream wont do much unless you mix it nd if you mix right it should dry,and when it does you can touch it nd it feels really rough.and i have not figured out the etch cream mix yet,and well that shit is fucking crazy because it can explode out of no where when you put it in a marker,so i would reccomend all you young cats to chill with the etch nd grab some paint until some other crazy dude finds out the ill mix LoL wise one tna wc from montreal: 8th Mar 2007 - 02:41 GMTyo the olny problem with etching cream its that if you toch it you burn yourself hardly and you need to find a metal mop or metal marker PS tyler are you sure it works milk and vinegar The optick One BMK, CWK: 20th May 2007 - 17:13 GMTPeace To The Elder Snatch. Optick One. CWK, BMK, 2007© Reign Oner: 8th Jun 2007 - 16:09 GMTyo, if you got Armour etch, how do you thin it out so it'll come through a fabric nib? Peter: 8th Jun 2007 - 16:24 GMTim assuming you have etch *cream*? if you thin it enough to get it to flow, itll be too weak to actually etch anything. google "etch fluid" and get some of that.
Reign Oner: 8th Jun 2007 - 16:32 GMTwell, it's what everyone says is right to use, I just don't know how to get it to go through a window chalk bottle nib ATAC: 4th Jul 2007 - 01:55 GMTetch is the shit, its all about ups and how long you have them rocking for othe fuckers to see. etch is just another way of getting up. just like stencils, wheat paste, and posters
EYON*DF*: 14th Jul 2007 - 07:53 GMTalright so here it is, armor etching cream can be thinned down with mineral spirits (certain kind of paint thinner), or you could get both armor etching cream and bath etch, that mix i heard is the shit, and dont use nibs for the etching cream where as it will not absorb through, go rack a clorox bleach pen, the big ones with two different ends , one big applicator and one for small drippy shit, its ill modok: 24th Jul 2007 - 08:41 GMTgod damn i just baugh a bottle of the shit and i have been trying all night to fill up a pen... i tryed the liquid chalk pens and the bleach double sided pen... im afraid i dont know what to mix in it please some one tell me before a waste my moeny BigRock: 9th Aug 2007 - 03:15 GMTwell i just made a mop with " Etch Bath " and is it suposed to come out all brownish? last time i used one, it came out clear and dried perfect. but now im tryin to make my own and the shit is all brownish. then i tried it on the mirror in my basement and the next day it wiped right off??? whys this?
