Glass Etching

Supplies
  • Paper
  • Clear Contact Paper
  • Sharpie Marker
  • X-acto knife
  • Glass (flat surfaces are easier)
  • Armour Etch paste
  • Paint brush

3
  • We will be etching the glass using Armour Etch
  • This is a chemical and should NOT be sniffed or
    placed near your face
  • Always wash your hands after using this!

4
  • Armour Etch is a fast acting specially formulated
    glass etching compound that lets you create
    permanently etched designs on windows, mirrors
    and household glassware. NOT intended for use by
    children. Will NOT etch Pyrex or plastics.
  • NOT recommended for etching large solid areas of
    glass.

5
What to do
  • Come up with a design darken the lines
  • Transfer the design onto your clear contact paper
    using a fine tip Sharpie (use a small piece of
    tape to tape the contact paper over your design
    so it doesnt move)
  • Clean and completely dry your glass or mirror
  • Carefully place the contact paper on the
    glassthere cannot be bubbles
  • Cut the design out with an x-acto knife
  • Pull out the areas that were cut so that these
    areas will be exposed to the etching paste
  • I will apply the paste for you after school and
    wash it offthe steps of this are illustrated on
    the following slides.

6
Tips
  • Tiny lines left between etching may not stay
    protected with the contact paper and are hard to
    cut out
  • Do not fill in a large area with the etching
    pasteit may not etch evenly
