EtchAll etching creme is a re-usable creme that produces a permanent etched finish on glass, mirror, ceramic, porcelain, marble or slate. EtchAll etching creme produces a fingerprint-proof surface and creates a smooth, matte surface which will accept oil or acrylic paints.
EtchAll has been approved by The Art and Creative Materials Institute for use by supervised children of 12 years of age and older. EtchAll conforms to ASTM-D4236.
We recommend using a standard vinyl squeegee or similar tool for EtchAll creme application and a removable pressure sensitive vinyl such as the Lumina 4301 Series or the Siser EasyPSV Removable vinyl for making etching stencils.
Instructions
- Clean glass or mirror surface. Dry with lint-free paper towel or cloth.
- Apply the stencil to the surface to be etched. Use a Roland or Graphtec vinyl cutter to make your own exciting vinyl stencils! Be sure that all areas of glass not to be etched are covered with vinyl or tape.
- Apply a heavy coat of EtchAll etching creme to an area of the stencil where the glass is not exposed. Do not pour the creme directly onto the glass or irregular etching may occur.
- Using a squeegee, pull the etching creme over the entire area to be etched all at once. Do not use a brush as streaking may occur.
- Leave the etching creme on the design for 15 minutes.
- After the time has elapsed, use the squeegee to return the majority of the etching creme back to the EtchAll container to be re-used at a later time.
- Rinse the etched surface thoroughly with water to remove any remaining etching creme.
- Remove the stencil, wash and dry the glass, and enjoy your permanently etched design!
