| Etches dichro nicely |

Pros : Quickly etches the dichro off of dichroic glass.
I'm a fuser, and this stuff gives me the tool to create great detail etched in dichro.
Apply vinyl or reusable type stencils to the dichro side of well-cleaned glass. Paint this stuff on in a pretty thick layer. Wait 5-8 minutes then rinse off. Wherever the stencil was, dichro will remain. Fuse as usual.
BTW, the stencil needs to be created reversed from normal reading.
|
Cons : I wasn't looking at this product to give quality ETCHED glass results since I'm just using it to eat away dichro. But I'll say it only does a superficial etch with some evenness issues and so can't be compared to sand blasting.
|
| Other Thoughts : "Time delay" BURNS your skin, and any dried bits from around the lid can be reactivated, so BE CAREFUL. (if you get this on your skin and don't remove it right away, you'll know what I mean about "time delay" :) |

Pros : I think it works great!
Great on Stained Glass Projects.
|
Cons : You need to make sure you get your pattern or tape rubbed on really well. The Etch Cream will slip under the edges.
|
| Excellent for small projects |

Pros : I was pleased to find Armour Etch Cream to work very well on tiny lines in the Rub n Etch stencils. I was concerned about bleeding under the edges, but both products worked well together. I agree with the other reviews that you must be very careful to secure your mastic, tape or Rub n Etch to avoid bleed-under.
|
Cons : Sometimes, the surface does not appear evenly etched.
|
| Other Thoughts : I prefer sand-blasted etching, but in many cases, this paste works better with less mess. |
