GLASS ETCHING CLASS ! (Glass etching a moon phase, start to finish)

[@RRW177]

to apply the stencil, do this ~ spray some windex on the mirror. peel the back off the stencil. place the stencil on the windexed mirror. move the stencil around till it’s positioned the way you want it. use a credit card to squeegee the windex out from under the stencil. i learned this from a sign man, watching him apply vinyl letters to the hull of my boat. i truly enjoy your videos, thank you ~ so much.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Awesome tip!! Thank you for watching!

[@EmilyTooke]

I’ve learned so much from you as a beginner already! A video of “what I wished people told me about stained glass when i started” would be cool :)

[@MakenzieHallie]

I can definitely do that, I've had quite a few requests for it! Glad your enjoying my channel!!

[@doloreseichler5556]

Do u have a video on applying patina and especially making it look black not faded. Also how to finish it polish or wax.

Super cool! I bet I could use my silhouette to cut the stencils. I use Oracal 651 almost exclusively with it. I vote for random tools for next week.

Definitely! I didn't use my cricket in case most don't have one!!

[@earlyman6956]

both, both is good

Great Job, I haven't tried etching yet, after watching this I will try it sometime. If you or anyone in stain glass is interested ( yeah I know it's a long ride , but a fun time) The Beveled Edge, owned by Marlene Seavey 513 Roosevelt Rd Windham, Maine. She normally does Wednesday's 10:30 to 1. And on Saturdays 10:30 to 1 as well. She has been doing stain glass for over 25 years.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Give it a go! Its so fun and easy when you get the hang of it! That's awesome, does she sell stained glass sheets?!

[@michaelbaillargeon3308]

@@MakenzieHallie She is rolling the dice on her business this year, ordering over $8000 in glass this year alone! Her inventory was getting low, and as you already are aware of shipping costs etc. can get very steep if you are not ordering enough at a time, she is saving $$$ on shipping costs, when she gets her order in I will let you know, she had a page on FB, but she doesn’t go on there hardly at all and put posts out (like we would) but you can see a few things on there. Check it out .

[@MakenzieHallie]

Ok cool. I will write her shop down, and see if I can get in contact!

@@MakenzieHallie I just went on the page on FB which I haven’t been on in about a year? A lot of photos on there if you scroll down. I made the Birch Trees glass window panel, I forgot that she posted it,

[@kristycannon7923]

Great job! I have had luck leaving the etch cream on as long as 20 minutes. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the 3 mins wasn't long enough. Not sure why? But I love the look on mirrored glass, will have to give it a try!😊

[@MakenzieHallie]

Weird! Was it armour etch?! And definitely, mirror is fun!

[@kristycannon7923]

@@MakenzieHallie Yes it was armour etch....but you never know, it could have been an old bottle at the store or something, lol. Definitely will give it another try though!🤗

[@melodihacker7661]

Hi! I love this mirror, all your videos, and your style! I have a quick question about etching and stained glass. A coworker of mine just had a baby and I thought it would be really sweet to give her a stained glass pair of baby feet with the initials and DOB etched into it. Would you suggest etching before I even foil, or after I've completed soldering (I don't think foil would take kindly to water without it already being soldered down)? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Ps- I vote weird tools 😊

[@MakenzieHallie]

Oh yes it has be done before any work, or after its completed with solder/patina/polish!

Tried to use the etching product on dark grenn glass to put names and birthdates and it didn't work. Even tried multiple applications and longer time.. Gonna have to use vinyl

[@MakenzieHallie]

Bummer! I've heard a couple people say this before, im not sure what it is that stops glass etching cream from working.

[@dawnchesbro4189]

Would it be possible to stick the vinyl down first as a sheet on the glass, then cut the design out and pick it up with an exacto knife? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about bubbles and not laying properly. And please, wear gloves and eye protection when using etching cream since it’s an acid!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Unfortunately the exact knife would scratch the shit out of the glass or mirror, so it has to be cut first!

[@dawnchesbro4189]

@@MakenzieHallie I’d test it out on a scrap piece of mirror. I cut copper foil directly on glass and haven’t scratched any art glass yet. I’ve read that if you use a sharp stainless steel blade, it’s nearly impossible to scratch the glass.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Well, you can definitely give it a go! I cut foil on glass as well, but vinyl is ALOT thicker and harder to cut through as it is. So I'm just not comfortable suggesting anyone to do that! But if your really worried about bubbling, and feel comfortable doing it that way, absolutely try it!!

[@dawnchesbro4189]

@@MakenzieHallie ok! I just tested it out on my bathroom mirror (one I really don’t care about) and I was able to cut a thicccc vinyl sticker directly on the mirror without a scratch! I used a brand new exacto knife to do this, not pressing very hard, but definitely cutting on the mirror. I’m just trying to help you by giving you a quicker way that has less chances to make the pattern come out misshapen due to transferring the vinyl to the surface. Plus, you would definitely be able to get super detailed designs on your pattern if you cut it out that way! It’d be super pretty. I literally have no skin in this game.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Thats awesome! I'll deff remember that for next time I do it!

[@str8evil]

I love ya and I’ve learned a ton from you, but damnnnnn you made you this a lot more difficult than it should’ve been. It would’ve made it much easier had you not cut those extra 4”s off and cut them into smaller pieces. Also you should’ve at least put blue painters tape on all the mirror surfaces you didn’t want to etch for protection.

[@Chiefdnd]

Don't like smearing, try "applying".

[@MakenzieHallie]

applying doesn't insinuate the thick layer like smear does!! Lol!!
