Abstract
This paper investigates wet chemical etching of lead crystal glass, where it is necessary to use both hydrofluoric and sulphuric acid to dissolve all of the components of the glass. We consider a simple model of multi-component etching, consisting of a set of coupled linear ordinary differential equations. The long time behaviour is analysed using the method of steepest descents and the limiting etch rate is determined.
