Additional Pro Tip. Follow her instructions exactly, but add damp old cloths (Environmentally friendly) vs baby wipes, and wash every glass you want to etch with Dawn using a mild abrasive (Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Scrubber), really put some effort with friction [NOT MAX SCRUBBING FORCE] (No it won’t scratch decent quality glass), then proceed with her instructions. This removes any waxing or polishing from the factory (Raw Surface) [Even brighter etching]. Spreading the etching cream like icing without much pressure is the best method. ☝🏻👏🏼🤩Brushes give inconsistent patterns if not applied very quickly (“Spreading” as much as possible on the first pass as quickly you can with no breaks in application provides the most even etch.) If you do the above you will get a VERY sharp, white, and even etching. ❤ EXCELLENT TUTORIAL BTW!!!
Wanted to etch a few candle glasses but wasn't sure how to go about it. Your video is by far the most detailed, informative video. Thank you so much for explaining the process step by step for those of us who are just a babe in the forest when it comes to etching!
The etching cream contains very dangerous chemicals. It's is absolutely required that you wear nitrile gloves for protection. Do NOT touch with your bare skin at all, ever. Also, you should wear safety glasses and a respirator. It can cause permanent damage to your skin and airway.
I have always liked this process, but like everything, I am intimidated to try it. Your tutorial is very well explanatory and simple. Thank you for the time you take doing it for us. I personally appreciate it very much.
Okay, this is super helpful. Another video I saw said to just leave it on for 3 minutes... And that didn't seem long enough. So I'll try the full 15 minutes. Thanks so much!
You did an amazing job explaining this. I'm following along and you made it so easy for my first time etching. Very informative and detailed video. Keep up the great work.
I wish I would have watched this video before I did my etching. I used masking tape and make a complicated stencil. The stencil turned out ok, but I followed the directions on the bottle of etching cream and it came out very light and unnoticeable. The stencil probably would have been easier to make with vinyl as well.
I loved this video but in the instructions that I got from the armour etch it says 1 and 5 min for leaving the cream on. My results were also some blotchiness. Love the baby wipe idea. Now if i can just got my vinyl on without or bubbles in a centerish way thatd be great
I did my first etching this past weekend and it came out great! But I wish I would have watched some CZcams videos first for some tips. Your tips and tricks are so helpful and I will be using them on my next one. Now just to find a good way to hold glass still.
Wow :) great video. I have tried, and failed. I notice that I was using the the wrong thing to apply the cream. Also, the cream I am using looks very different than yours. I think mine is way too thick. maybe it's old. I'll try the Armour.
Thank you! For being so detailed! You helped me stain my bridesmaids glasses! I messed up on 2 so far. I have all the groomsmen glasses left to do. Any tips on getting the bubbles out from the cuts I have to make due to the round glass?
Can you do this on a window pane 16”x16” for privacy and make your own pattern? Does it have to be a stencil or can you just tape on the pattern, a reverse idea to what you have shown?
if i leave it on for 30 or 45 minutes does it etch deeper? i would try it myself but i am trying to evaluate this before i buy some. thanks for the great tutorial!
I want to try this etching cream but I’m pregnant so I don’t want to take any risks with the chemicals. I know you can use spray paint but I’m not sure it Will give me the same result
Love this video. I am working on table numbers for my daughter's wedding but wanted to do a test run on something else before starting on those. Question. I don't have baby wipes but do have Antibacterial wipes. Any reason for not using those?
I always thought etching meant scraping the glass with sandpaper or some type of scratching. I am so far off base!! Heh! Looks way easy. Hmm. Now im looking round my home to see if ive enough glass to etch...... has anyone ever Tatted plastic? Ive got some cool jars and drinkware that ive done! Big fun!
Love this video but I may just order reusable vynil stencils. I've never tried it before. Just got my cream today. I'm really excited to try it. Any ideas for a baby shower?
Hi! I'm new to the channel. I am trying etching for the first time today so thank you for the tutorial. My question is actually about the transfer tape though, what kind of transfer tape do you use?
i want to try etching a glass and i have a svg file and its of a couple, do i need to group them or attach them so that they cut as one rather than small individual cuts ?? Your video is fab and makes it looks so easy, fingers crossed it is as easy !
Completely random question here - I've heard that etching glass will help liquid rubber to stick better - I'm building a 1/2 land and 1/2 water aquarium with stones glued together as a divider, planning to use liquid rubber to make the division waterproof, but want to ensure that it will seal at the bottom to the glass. Anyway - do you think it'll help?
I’m facing a couple of challenges. I tried permanent, removable, stencil vinyl (all the brands that were available) and Smart Flexible vinyl. I tried using both regular transfer tape and strong grip but can’t seem to get the image to stay on the glass. I’m burnishing like crazy but it lifts up on the transfer tape. Any suggestions? TIA
I've bought 2 different bottles and they both have chunks in them. Is that normal??? It's very frustrating because they get in the way and it messes up the etching.
I’m new to Etching also and I ordered a stencil off of Etsy. It’s just a piece of plastic with the words cut out! There’s not sticky backing! Help how do I get this to stay on my glass jar?
Have never etched but am ready to start. Not sure that i understand what you get to start. Is it just a stencil or a decal. Where do i purchase the transfer paper or decal. I need help. Thank you
Can you etch tempered glass without having any damage to the temper? I have a piece of 3/16 tempered glass on a firewood passthrough door and would like to etch the entire piece of glass?

I’m new to etching and this video is by far the best one I’ve seen. Great detailed video and explanations from start to finish!
Glad it was helpful!
@@143VINYL so If I have an image with a picture and the name do I weed out the letters and the image of let's say a deer head?

I just did my first etching today. Loved this tutorial. Im now obsessed with this fun craft....

Alex I am new to etching and truly appreciate you step by step video showing how to etch glass and the careful use on how to use the etching product.
I have always liked this process, but like everything, I am intimidated to try it. Your tutorial is very well explanatory and simple. Thank you for the time you take doing it for us. I personally appreciate it very much.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad it's helpful :).
Try it it’s just like she said it works perfectly try it on a dollar piece of glss
Thanks for the baby wipes tip. I just started etching and this was very helpful.
You're welcome! Baby wipes have always been my favorite way to clean off my etching!
This video just saved me a helluva lot of effort and stress, Thank you
Okay, this is super helpful. Another video I saw said to just leave it on for 3 minutes... And that didn't seem long enough. So I'll try the full 15 minutes. Thanks so much!
im using the same etch cream and the directions on it says 3 minutes not 15, but I won't argue with your results. Looks great.
You did an amazing job explaining this. I'm following along and you made it so easy for my first time etching. Very informative and detailed video. Keep up the great work.
This is my first time learning about etching this is awesome. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you so much for the inspirational video!
Never heard of etching cream before. I’m amazed 🎉
Thank you so much, I just watched your easy to follow video and I finally was brave enough to try it, and it WORKED, I'm so happy with the results.
About to do an etching design with Craftsman Crate and I am very excited! Appreciate this video with the clear instructions.
Am doing my first etching glass and this video is supper
Thank you for sharing. I will try Etching for the first time on 9-30-2021. Birthday gift. I enjoyed your particular video on this.
Thank you for giving the right instructions and being so detailed! The other channel I listed to said 60 secs and it came out really weak and bad.
I am replacing a shower window. Frosted glass increases the cost $300. HMM...as a chemist I thought no I'll etch it myself. Noice video.
Good vid. Watch a few others, I like your very thorough, not drawn-out directions with tips! Thank you so much!

Wow. Great instructions. I just bought the smaller bottle for an order. This made me comfortable😅. Thank you 😊
i have never done etching but it looks amazing i will be trying it soon
I did my first etching this past weekend and it came out great! But I wish I would have watched some CZcams videos first for some tips. Your tips and tricks are so helpful and I will be using them on my next one. Now just to find a good way to hold glass still.
Maybe get old bath towel fold up a little like a pillow to lay project on
I enjoyed your video, looking forward to my first project. Your use of baby wipes is a very good idea.
I wish this video would also show how to do this without using the Cricut, maybe stick on letters. 😢
you made this really easy to understand! I can't wait to see my grandad's face when I give him his fancy new beer glass, thank you!!!!!
I'm doing the same thing for my husband's birthday coming up..
Very helpful. Thanks for making this beginner friendly 😁
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this video, very easy to follow. Looking forward to starting this new craft thank you
It was a pleasure watching you,I would like to get some help

I love to do etching. It's great that your carrying the product on line. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! We are excited to have another fun product to offer you!
Can this etching product be used on acrylic sheeting(perspex) or acrylic mirror?
I have not tried this, but I think I will now.
Etching is one of my favorite crafts! I bet you'll love it!
great tutorial.. simple and to the point thanks
You're welcome! :)
Wow :) great video. I have tried, and failed. I notice that I was using the the wrong thing to apply the cream. Also, the cream I am using looks very different than yours. I think mine is way too thick. maybe it's old. I'll try the Armour.
Thank you! For being so detailed!
You helped me stain my bridesmaids glasses!
I messed up on 2 so far.
I have all the groomsmen glasses left to do.
Any tips on getting the bubbles out from the cuts I have to make due to the round glass?
Thank you
I’m gonna be a pro!
Thanks to you!
Smart idea to use the baby wipes!
So you can use permanent vinyl and can you share which video shows how you did the stencil for the glass? It turned out beautiful!
Can you do this on a window pane 16”x16” for privacy and make your own pattern? Does it have to be a stencil or can you just tape on the pattern, a reverse idea to what you have shown?
Thank you so much for this video. Can I use permanent vinyl as the stencil? Or would it be better if I use removable vinyl?
if i leave it on for 30 or 45 minutes does it etch deeper? i would try it myself but i am trying to evaluate this before i buy some. thanks for the great tutorial!
On the box it said leave on for 1 minute,now I don't know what to believe
Can you do on plastic outdoor glasses
I want to try this etching cream but I’m pregnant so I don’t want to take any risks with the chemicals. I know you can use spray paint but I’m not sure it Will give me the same result
Thank you
Is there a way to remove it in case of any mistakes made?
Can you use a brush to apply? How long do you leave the product on for? The longer you leave you does it get more frosty?
Thanks
Sneh
Can you use removable vinyl instead of permanent?
Great video. What font did you use? Also, what size did you make did you make your stencil.
Love this video. I am working on table numbers for my daughter's wedding but wanted to do a test run on something else before starting on those. Question. I don't have baby wipes but do have Antibacterial wipes. Any reason for not using those?
Can you use tempered glass also
My etching didn't take. On the bottle it says 1 to 3 minutes should i try the 15 minutes you did here?
I always thought etching meant scraping the glass with sandpaper or some type of scratching. I am so far off base!! Heh! Looks way easy. Hmm. Now im looking round my home to see if ive enough glass to etch...... has anyone ever Tatted plastic? Ive got some cool jars and drinkware that ive done! Big fun!
Great video. Couple questions does the etching cream come in different colors and if not how do you get your words to be etched in different colors?
You can use glass paint or rub n buff
I will do some etching for a door glass for my son's school. I'm not sure if this will work on any glass. Thanks.
I have used Armour Etching Cream before with wonderful results. But I tried to use it on 3 pie plates today and none of them would etched. ???
Can you remove excess after it's done? I left it too long and it dripped onto the glass where I didn't want it. 😔
What's better to use permanent vinyl or removable vinyl?
Love this video but I may just order reusable vynil stencils. I've never tried it before. Just got my cream today. I'm really excited to try it. Any ideas for a baby shower?
Thank you 😊
You're welcome!
i put the armour solution and left it for 8 hours.... it didnt do much...
I'm new at this. Why use "permanent adhesive vinyl" instead of Removable adhesive vinyl?
Hi! I'm new to the channel. I am trying etching for the first time today so thank you for the tutorial. My question is actually about the transfer tape though, what kind of transfer tape do you use?
Donde puedo comprarlo en Chile? O se puede comprar por internet? Donde? Por favor agradecería la informacion
If you want the etching to be more prominent can you leave it on longer
i want to try etching a glass and i have a svg file and its of a couple, do i need to group them or attach them so that they cut as one rather than small individual cuts ?? Your video is fab and makes it looks so easy, fingers crossed it is as easy !
what about clean up? Can you reuse your brushes? How do you clean them?
I want to etch a poem on a glass frame. Can I use my Cricut stencil vinyl? And do you just use the basic cut function?
Completely random question here - I've heard that etching glass will help liquid rubber to stick better - I'm building a 1/2 land and 1/2 water aquarium with stones glued together as a divider, planning to use liquid rubber to make the division waterproof, but want to ensure that it will seal at the bottom to the glass.

I’m facing a couple of challenges. I tried permanent, removable, stencil vinyl (all the brands that were available) and Smart Flexible vinyl. I tried using both regular transfer tape and strong grip but can’t seem to get the image to stay on the glass. I’m burnishing like crazy but it lifts up on the transfer tape. Any suggestions? TIA
I've bought 2 different bottles and they both have chunks in them. Is that normal??? It's very frustrating because they get in the way and it messes up the etching.
Just curious, can the stencil be removable vinyl as opposed to permanent since it’s going to be removed anyway? Thank you.
Yes, removable vinyl will work just fine.
I’m new to Etching also and I ordered a stencil off of Etsy. It’s just a piece of plastic with the words cut out! There’s not sticky backing! Help how do I get this to stay on my glass jar?
Do you know why my mug isn’t etching? I’m using this armour etch
Have never etched but am ready to start. Not sure that i understand what you get to start. Is it just a stencil or a decal. Where do i purchase the transfer paper or decal. I need help.
Thank you
Can you etch without etching cream?
Can you etch tempered glass without having any damage to the temper? I have a piece of 3/16 tempered glass on a firewood passthrough door and would like to etch the entire piece of glass?
for some reason the Etching cream NOT sticking to the glass,even though I waited one hour not 15 minutes like you said?
Where do I buy the stencils for wedding emblems?
Not sure if it's the cream im using 😕 but i waited 10 min and it didn't work nothing was on my beer glass
Can I etch a car window? And if so, inside or outside is the better choice?
Hi does it matter what the template is made from as long as its plastic and sticky,? And the glass does it matter if its safety glass??
This never works for me. No matter how much I do all the correct things.
Can you use Denatured alcohol to clean the glass?
I purchased etching cream, medium size and the bottle was half empty. Is this normal?
Yes it is
Are you able to attain a deeper etch if you clean of the first layer after the 15min and add a second layer?
Why do you use the transfer tape if only to take it off and leave the vinyl.
Hi I tried to do this with a football logo and word together didn’t come out right 💁😬
What does the transfer tape actually do ?
