## Overview

Armour Etch Etching Cream is a fast-acting, specially formulated glass etching solution that permanently removes a fine layer of glass to create custom designs on glass, mirrors, and windows.

## Description

Armour Etch etching cream is a special formula that removes a fine layer of glass from glass to give them an etched appearance. It comes in a 2.8 oz. bottle with childproof cap. Any paper with a sticky back can become a stencil. Apply the cream with a brush and in 5 to 10 minutes your project will be etched. Instructions are included on the bottle. IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE: Government restrictions prevent shipping many products by AIR, including Armour Etch. This item CANNOT BE SHIPPED to Alaska or Hawaii, or outside the U.S., with the exception of UPS ground shipments into most areas of Canada.

Review: Works great with the right technique - As many other reviews say - don’t follow the directions. Go on youtube and see how others use it succesfully. Don’t paint it on with a brush, how the cream first hits the glass will determine its final finish, so if you paint it on, you will be able to see brush strokes. What worked for me: I use cheap acid brushes you can find on desertcart. It’s best to fill your brush by basically scooping up the cream and then just glob it onto the glass about 1/8” thick. Once the area you’re etching is completely covered, let it sit for about a minute, then with a full brush, gently begin moving the cream around to ensure no air bubbles are trapped and that it gets into any tight corners of your stencil. I’ve had good success leaving it on for around 8 minutes, but when I’m doing several glasses I’ve left it on for as long as 10-12 minutes with good results. Once enough time has elapsed, I just rinse off the cream under luke warm water in a sink, making sure to let the water run for a little while when I’m done to be sure all of the cream is rinsed from the sink and pipes. I’ve seen some people say they will rinse and then repeat the etching process for more even results, but if you use the method above I don’t think repeating is necessary. So far I’ve been able to etch 24 shot glasses, 12 Whiskey glasses and 12 wine glasses plus a few practice etches using a fairly open stencil and have over half the bottle still left. A little bit goes a long way. I priced out having glasses made and the price would have been just a little bit cheaper than buying the glasses, a Brother Design n Cut, stencil vinyl and etch cream and doing it all myself and now I have all the equipment and supplies to take on any future project and it all has basically already paid for itself.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I etch on ceramic with this?**
A: Some

**Q: Could this be used to place a name on the bottom of a coffee cup?**
A: Some cups yes

**Q: Will this etch plexiglass?**
A: Not recommended for acrylic or plexiglass as likely to melt the plastic. Online responses recommended using an air eraser, or using an abrasive like sandpaper. You could experiment and leave the cream on for very brief time before rinsing off.  Also do not rinse off in a ceramic coated sink as it will remove the coating. God luck.

**Q: Can I use this to completely etch a glass chandelier globe and get an even overall etch?**
A: Yes

*by K***9 on December 31, 2017*

LOVE armor etching cream. I use the etching stencils that are reusable, and the final product is beautiful! I've created multiple gifts (etched glasses and candles), and I always get compliments. Easy to use, etches in less than a minute, and it's permanent.
