Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream (2.8oz)

Great product and somewhat easy to use. My advice is to add a few metal pieces or bb gun pellets in the bottle to get the product to mix. Test design on an inexpensive glass surface before making the project and have a clean surface and tight seals around the etching area. Use sweeping light criscross strokes of the brush that go to the edges to get the proper effect.

Love this product! Made some great things with it.

I’ve done lots of sublimation and vinyl designs on glass, this was something fun and different to try. I made sure I prepped my area and covered my work surface with clean paper, layed out all my materials, and cut out my design in advance . I used vinyl and left enough around the etching area so that I wouldn’t need to tape anything, the vinyl was my cover for the unetched areas of my glass. I prepped the glass surface with rubbing alcohol before applying the design to remove any oils, dirt, or fingerprints. Once dry, I applied my design, put on protective gloves, and generously applied the Armour Etch cream and set my timer for 8 minutes. I re-applied some cream making sure there were no ‘bald’ spots and let it sit another 8 minutes. Once the time was up I put the excess Armour Etching cream back into the bottle and rinsed my glass off under tepid water. I removed the vinyl while still running water over the glass then wiped it dry. The effect is a frosted design. The cream doesn’t actually etch a groove into the glass but leave a pretty frosted effect. A few tips: wear gloves when working with etching cream. Make sure you have a large enough surface for you design choice. I was trying a shot glass and while the glass etched, my design ended up being too small to see because of the size of the glass. Buy a couple of dollar store pieces to practice on until you get good at sizing a design and timing your etching.

I was really excited to use this but I keep getting patches that are “unetched”, even with thorough product saturation. It does the job but only after at least two applications.

Surprised how well this worked. Used it to makes glass etched decanters for Christmas! They were a huge hit! Cut out my design on vinyl and rubbed the etching cream on the glass for a few minutes! Can’t wait to use more!

I used this cream for my first try at etching drinking glasses. I made 6 stencils of an intricate parrot using permanent vinyl that I cut out using a Cricut machine. It took more time to prep the decal and glass than it did to etch. I followed the instructions using isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the glass etching area before applying the decal. I also used painters tape to cover some of the exposed glass surrounding the decal. I put on disposable gloves and applied the cream with a cheap foam paint brush, covering the etching area very thick so I could not see the design. After 3 minutes, I scraped off the excess cream and put it back into the bottle then rinsed off the glass. The etching cream can be reused and it goes a long way.At first look, I did not think the etching worked but as I peeled off the decal, the parrot showed up beautifully. The lines were crisp and there were no flaws. This is was a fun and easy project. I donated the set of 6 glasses to a local parrot rescue.

I love this stuff!

I’m using this to itch glass artwork. It’s easy to spread and itches the glass so much easier than itching with a mechanical device.

思ったより　深くエッチングできなかった　時間を調整しても同じだった　長くすると　エッジがボケた ただし　エッチングそのものは、good ちゃんと認識できる　深堀したいのだったらco2レーザーで掘った方が良いと思った

Excellent produit, fonctionne parfaitement sur le verre

It worked very well. On my first time it came out perfectly.

It's very easy to work with!!
