DIRECTIONS

• Clean and dry the glass piece. Wipe the area to be etched with rubbing alcohol.
• Use a ready-made glass etching stencil or create your own by sketching a design on adhesive-backed vinyl (contact paper). Position on glass and adhere.
• Remove the areas on the vinyl stencil of the design to be etched. The exposed areas will be etched.
• Place painter’s tape around the edges of the designs for added protection. This creates a barrier so that etching creme does not go onto the glass areas that you do not want etched.
• Pour etching creme onto the design, following manufacturer’s directions. Avoid spreading the creme back and forth for a cleaner etch design.
• Wait 15 minutes as directed.
• Scrape off the etching creme and place back into jar.*
• Rinse off excess creme under running water or submerse the piece in a container of water. Keeping the piece surrounded by moving water helps prevent etching crème residue from dripping onto an area that you do not want etched.
• While the piece is under water, peel off the stencil and painter’s tape. Rinse clean.
• Dry the glass piece. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive residue.
  

*NOTE: Etchall Etching creme can be re-used.
