I feared if i use that low a current the etch may overcome the plating
again.

do you need to add anything to your etchant? replenish chemicals i mean.

I reckon it would not be a problem at all to have two titanium rods in my
tank,
i could get them at ebay..
what have you payed for the screws? i really doubt i can find titanium
screws in any
hardware store here.

One would need to know a surgeon, i have heard you can get titanium screws
easily because
very often they prepare screws for a operation which they then don't use
and they
can't be reused once opened.
