Product Description

Easily Add Detail
Etching is a great technique for creating beautiful designs on glass. Just apply a stencil, brush on etching cream, let it stand a few minutes, and wash off. Etched designs on mirrors look especially decorative and are very popular. Or try etching on dichroic glass to add perfect detail to jewelry. Note: always wear rubber gloves when using etching cream. Will not etch plastic and some Pyrex.

Design shown in cabochon below from Flowers #1294. Snowflake project created by artist Kayleigh Clark.

  •   Etches dichro nicely
By on
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" :)

  •   Excellent for small projects
By on
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.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
