A simple and inexpensive technique is described by which disks of magnetic epitaxial garnet films may be chemically shaped. Using silicone rubber adhesive as a mask, disks of film as small as 0.05‐cm diameter, suitable for ferromagnetic resonance studies, may be easily produced.

RTV adhesives 732 (Dow Corning Corp., Midland, MI) and 102 (General Electric Co., Waterford, NY) have been used with success. Other less viscous formulations should work as well.
