GLASS ETCHING

I thought I would post these photos of

bottles that I etched scenes on. I

photographed the bottle on the window

sill on my deck so that the sunlight would

make it easier to see the etching. I like to

collect colored bottles and bottles that

have unique shapes. I use a clear shelf liner

to adhere to the bottle and then cut my

scene out with a utility knife. I then make

sure that the exposed areas are clean from

any adhesive. If adhesive is left on the glass

then the etching will be compromised. I use

an old brush to apply the Armour Etch.

I try to make sure that my brush strokes

flow in the same direction throughout the

scene. Armour Etch is very strong smelling.

I suggest using a mask, gloves and safety

glasses in a well ventilated area. After a few

minutes the acid can be rinsed off the glass. Remove the liner, wash

the remaining adhesive off the glass and dry. VOILA!

Your etching is revealed!
