Etchall and Adding Color

Want to add color to glass that pops? By using this under paint, it will allow a brighter more opaque color on your glass project. The most accessible place to find Etchall is on Amazon. The chalk ink I am using is from Chalk Couture. However, since filming this I have seen a few more similar products on the market. This technique would work well for any glass paint of your liking. I found the glass mugs at my local Dollar Tree. It is my favorite place to pick up glass items to etch.

I would like to do this to globes on a light fixture. Do you recommend etching & painting the inside or outside of the globe? (I am thinking the inside for easier cleaning on the outside). Would the heat from the bulbs affect the paint?

[@Betsiemorris]

That’s a really good question! I don’t think the paint will be affected since it sets in heat, but I’m not entirely sure. You might want to check with the manufacture of the paint beforehand.

[@michelleandalon]

Should you have a dedicated oven for this, like a convection oven? Is it safe to cook food in your regular oven after doing a project like this?

[@Betsiemorris]

That’s a really great question! Check with the paint company you use. This particular brand is safe.

[@garysummers9817]

Another question Betz! I I wanted to make my own stencil - I.e make my own signature, what is that stencil product you use that copes with Couture Ink? Many thanks. Gary

[@80antdiva]

I already removed my sticker so it's etched, If I gob on the paste and rub it off will it only stay on the etched parts? TIA

[@Betsiemorris]

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by paste since I did not use any paste in the video. So I am going to assume that your autocorrect is being naught like mine does from time to time and it is suppose to be paint 🙂. No is the short answer. All that would happen if you rub the paint off is the paint will come off of it. Etchall does not make the surface sticky for the paint. It just makes the color show up more vibrant. If you paint over the entire glass the etched area will show through in the color. It will be opaque and the rest will be a bit transparent. I hope that makes sense.

[@meyokihodge699]

Love it

[@reginashirley3764]

What did you use for the coloring

[@jeffreyeiford2750]

Hey Betz, LOVE LOVE LOVE your video on etching. I bought a popcorn popper on wheels that has glass around it . I'm thinking it should be etched on the outside ,,,correct ?? I'm thinking if I use the products you listed it should work .. I want to do black n orange .. Thanks so much

[@Betsiemorris]

I would def do it on the outside! I would not use the paint I used in this video because you have to bake it. I believe Plaid has a glass paint that would be good for a popcorn maker 🙂

[@jeffreyeiford2750]

Thank you very much Betz

What would be whole process be to do this, inc making the stencil with my initials please?? Great instructions and demo. Regards. Gary

[@Betsiemorris]

I would either use black couture ink and heat set it with an iron or use vinyl in black and use a scan-n-cut to cut it. Etchall only works on glass.

[@bobbyd1961]

may I ask where you got the stencil from and how much you paid for it? Also there's something called etching armor that only takes 5 mins and you only need a little.

[@Betsiemorris]

I found the stencil on Etsy and it was free because of a special at the time. I believe it was under $5 originally

[@christinaceli203]

[@Betsiemorris]

You can, but it might wash off 😉

[@AnnamarieVolley8]

Hello thank you for great video! Is the paint dishwasher safe? If not could mod podge be used to seal it?

[@Betsiemorris]

Great question! It actually is dishwasher safe. You just want to make sure that you allow it to sit on the glass for at least a day or two before popping it in the oven to make it permanent. Otherwise it can flake off. So, just give it a day or two, pop it in the oven and bake it, let it cool completely in the oven and it will be good to go.

[@Amywazwaz06]

I always wondered if you could use some sort of color with etching or with out. I guess I now know. Is the couture chalk ink the only thing you can use? Is there any version sold in craft stores or do you have to order from their website only?

[@Betsiemorris]

You can use any paint for glass! 🙂 It doesn’t have to be from Chalk Couture.

[@ambertincher2624]

Do u bake any paint or just this one

[@maeve_a]

Didn't notice if anyone mentioned this... I increase my coverage of the glass way beyond. Just use masking tape and cover that glass all around the vinyl! There's no point risking having a mistake hit that glass for the cost of a little masking tape. When I'm doing a large area, or a full circle, I even cover the bottom and some of the inside so that any etching cream on my gloves doesn't accidentally get transferred there as I move it around.

[@Betsiemorris]

That’s a great tip! Thank you so much for posting ❤️

[@MsDeLo60]

Thank You

[@alexbishop3142]

I’m a little confused as at one point you mention putting it in the oven at 275F for 2 hours, and another section of your video it says 250? So not to be a pain but which one is it? I love your video and technique and want to try it myself but want to make sure it’s at the right settings.

[@Betsiemorris]

I understand the confusion! I misspoke. I like it at 250 🙂

[@Sooz3112]

Very informative. Looks great. Is it safe to use without ventilation - I think Armour Etch seems to be very toxic and has a powerful smell? x

[@maeve_a]

No, ventilation is important.

[@pierce14plus]

Beautiful stencil and very informative tutorial! Quick question, though: how long does the color last?

I have now been using the glasses on a regular basis for over a year and they still are good 🙂

[@lisaharper5973]

Can you wash the glass in a dishwasher after you have added the paint?

[@Betsiemorris]

I usually hand wash it just to be on the safe side, but it has gone through the dishwasher a few times with nothing coming off.

[@Itsamallard]

Could you use the larger mug attachments for a heat press to set this after it’s dry rather than put it in your oven ?

[@Betsiemorris]

Yes! I believe that would work as well 🙂. Just let it cool down naturally and don’t try to use it for a day or two.

[@charlescash9433]

can you dry with hair dryer or do you have to use the oven, you had mentioned the hair dryer

[@Betsiemorris]

I would not do a hair dryer. That would take forever. You really want a nice dry long heat in which your glass can sit in the oven as it cools.

[@Hyltonjess]

If the Vinyl did come off would the colour stick all of the glass or just the etched part?

[@Betsiemorris]

That’s a great question! It would stick to all of the glass, but the shade and transparency would be different. It wouldn’t be as vibrant 🙂

[@Betsiemorris]

Oh no! I’m so sorry! There are a couple things to check. First, make sure your screen is smooth with no wrinkles. Second, lay the color on so that you can still see the outline of the image. You don’t want it so thin I that you can’t see what the image is. You should be able to see the image a little through the paint. Third, don’t let it dry! You want to pull the screen print when the paint is still wet. HTH

[@purpleheart1836]

is this microwave and dishwasher safe with the added color?

[@Betsiemorris]

The glass is not on this particular piece, however the paint is dishwasher safe, but I would trust it in the microwave.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

the etched area is translucent (when it’s not painted) it is not transparent, there’s a difference. clear glass is transparent as light goes through it. etched surfaces let some light through but diffuse some light so it looks cloudy. when all light is blocked from going through it is called opaque. i couldn’t tell if the ink blocked light from passing through the glass but if it does, it’s opaque paint even though it has a shimmer from light bouncing back in many directions.

Silly question...Why etch it if you’re painting over the etching? Couldn’t you have used an enamel paint and baked it to get the same effect without having to etch?

[@Betsiemorris]

That is actually a very good question! The reason why you add etchall first is because it allows your paint to be opaque and not transparent. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to add color to different shades of substrates before. A white substrate will give you the most vibrant color. That is what the actual does to the glass. Thank you so much for asking that question.🙂
