Customers are disappointed with the appearance of the paint. They mention that it leaves an uneven look of etching on glass, the edges of the design were less crisp, and the etch is very subtle. The pretty lettering became rather childlike and not nearly as flattering. The paint has streaks in it and now my table looks like dookie. Customers also say that the paint is gritty and could easily scratch plastic lenses.

"...both cases, but when I did a rinse halfway through, the edges of the design were less crisp...." Read more

The best cream ever
5 Stars
The best cream ever
First time using etched cream, I didn't want to use vinyl just to keep it for longer, customized glass order I needed to use the best and I won.. I left for more than 3 min around 5 or 10, totally covered with a good layer, then I washed it and voila....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great results, these custom etched glasses will be a fantastic Christmas gift for my dad
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015
I used this glass etching cream on (qty=4) pint glasses and (qty=2) quart mugs.

[[ASIN:B00XWY0UEM Anchor Hocking Pint Mixing Glass - Rim Tempered - 16 Oz, Set of 2]]
[[ASIN:B002STPP5Q German Style Extra Large Glass Beer Mug - 34 oz]]

Total time for etching: 1 hour
Prep and testing time: 4 hours

Materials:

-etching creme (3 oz)
-glass to be etched
-inverted decal sticker
-Q-tips
-Rubbing Alcohol
-paper towels
-kitchen sink with sprayer

Process:

1) decided on a design, my dad has a big beard, so I decided to make a decal with a big beard and his name above looking like a kings crown. Did some google image searching, found the beard image. Used MS-paint to edit picture, used MS-publisher to add Word-Art. exported as BMP

2) Sent to my plotter/cutter. Made inverted decals, that is material removed where I want the glass to be etched.

3) cleaned glasses with alcohol and a paper towel

4) applied decal

5) applied etching cream with q-tip (see my layer thickness in attached pictures), swirling, dabbing, trying to keep cream evenly covered, swirl and dab, wait 5 min, swirl and dab again (moving cream around for even random coverage). Wait 5 min, swirl and dab, apply a little more creme maybe 25% as much as the first time to keep cream wet. (total 15 min)

6) wash off cream with medium pressure cold water kitchen sprayer, dry glass with paper towel, push on edges of decal to ensure none came up and would allow cream beneath it.

7) Coating 2, same process and length as first coat: (15 min total)

8) wash off cream with medium pressure cold water kitchen sprayer, dry glass with paper towel, remove decal with fingernails. wipe down with alcohol on a paper towel.

--- see pictures, I think this came out great. crisp edges, even etching, very impressed!
