Jtinker101 6 Posted December 7, 2014 Everyone does great jobs on all the etching projects... here are a few of mine.... I also do faux stained glass work as well and combine that with etching and vinyl designs... I do use the etching cream... it is a little expensive, but you can scrape it off the surface and re-use it lots of times... the cream is for very fine details... sand etching has a tendency to blow out the very fine lines... all these items were sand etched.... as I only use the etch cream for very fine details jT 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted December 7, 2014 How long do you let the cream set on there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnnScott 58 Posted December 7, 2014 What cream do you use? The lion head looks so even, I sometimes get a problem of it not being perfectly even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jtinker101 6 Posted December 7, 2014 I use X-I-M Etch-I-M Water Based Acid Etch... the lion head was sand etched... with the acid etch.. I found you have to lay it on THICK...thicker the better... I leave it on for a min. of 20 minutes then scrape off the excess and put it back in the container... main thing is you dont want the cream to dry out...if a section of the cream dries out.. then it stops etching...and makes a splotchy surface...

Boom 7 Posted December 14, 2014 I have used Armour Etch. With the same results when applying it too thin. Also reusable and good results. Although I don't have any pictures. This looks great with your stained glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
