Glass Etching Basics

[@Partymafia77]

What settings did you use in the machine?

Have you experimented with already colored stained glass and using the same method? I am interested in engraving colored glass and then coloring in the etching…

What about 1/2 gallon jars? What would you use for settings?

Hi Lonnie, I am trying to etch on a glass that does not stay in the rotary tool for WeCreate any tips on how to do that?

What were the power and speed settings you used? I have the 20 watt WeCreat you used.

[@WeCreat_Lonnie]

[@WeCreat_Lonnie]

not the same effect, cold galv compund bonds to glass when hit with laser reg paint would just burn off.

is it just plain sprat paint?
