Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream 2.8 Ounce New Look!, (15-0150)

It's important to note that Armour Etch will not work on all types of glass. It should work fine for most soda lime glass, but will not work on all types of borosilicate glass (pyrex). I've never actually got it to work on borosilicate, but supposedly it may work on some formulas, so keep this in mind if you intend to use it for kitchenware or temperature resistant pieces. It should work well on regular soda lime glass, but may not work if the glass contains certain minerals (colored glass). It should work on tempered glass, like table tops, and I've used it on auto windows.The ingredients in Armour Etch work by generating hydrofluoric acid. The corrosiveness of HF is not its only hazard, hydrofluoric acid is also poisonous, and even minute amounts can cause a heart attack. The risk of acid burns is minimal, as we're dealing with small doses in a viscous form, but the poisonous nature remains, and you should avoid skin contact- "once absorbed in the blood HF reacts with Ca2+ ions to form insoluble calcium fluoride, this cause a steep decrease in serum calcium level".I don't mean to overstate the danger, as it's a very safe product when handled with respect. Take the time to wear gloves, glasses, and other appropriate PPE, and store it in a safe place away from curious hands.

This stuff is amazing. I was afraid of using it at first hit it’s so easy!

This stuff works great for etching. Fast shipping as well.

I wanted to make custom glassware for my coworkers and planned to use permanent vinyl. But then I saw how people use this… it works fantastic to make beautiful etches.*TIP FOR NEW USERS*- this product can be reused. Simply use a brush to wipe back up and into the bottle. I wasted my first bottle before finding this out.Very quick to work - I let sit for 6-7 min, wiped up excess, rinsed, and repeated a second time for a crisp design with perfect texture.Used vinyl as stencil and $1 glassware from discount store

I used this to remove anti glare coating on my RX glasses . They are plastic lenses . It worked great but use gloves and be very careful to not get it on any surfaces! It smudged the finish on my white kitchen cabinet is dripped on and left a mark on my stainless sink . User error .
