I have used glycerine/HF/nitric mixtures for metallographic etching with good results. In general, I like to avoid HF, but there are some applications
in which it gives the best results. HF deserves the utmost respect. Skin contact can result in absorption that leads to bone damage, and it doesn't
always give that burning sensation on contact (see attached .mht file). If you specify a particular alloy, I can suggest an etchant composition.
