I get soft velvety etches in only thirty or 45 seconds. 3 minutes top, but I do spend a lot of time really stirring the sludge in the bottom into the brown suspension liquid on top.
It takes me usually 15 minutes to really get the two mixed well. I find that if I do not do this I get streaked etch and shiny spots. I use a wood chopstick to mix.
My jar is 5 years old and the it still works great....if I mix it well enough. I bought it at Michaels Crafts.
