What is Etching Cream?
Etching cream is an acidic liquid used to permanently highlight cuts made into a glass surface. This type of cream is typically made from hydrofluoric or sulfuric acid. Etching glass is a craft that combines powerful chemicals with a fairly simply process to modify the appearance of glass windows, doors and dishes. The etching cream fills the space in the glass created by the cuts, so that the lines are visible. When selecting a project to use etching glass, think about the design, complexity, glass structural strength, and time required. This type of craft is very manual, providing creative opportunities for skilled artisans.
