How to Custom Etch Glass with the Silhouette CAMEO 4

[@joannewatson3448]

Lisa, I have never had a cutter. I ordered a Cameo 4 and for the last few days, I have been stressed, nearly cried, and was to the point of returning my machine. I have watched a zillion you tubers, but they never showed everything they were doing or what the buttons were they were choosing or what they were doing. I, just tonight, found a lesson you put online 5 years ago and you are asking questions and you are explaining everything. People that are showing you what to do, don't realize that some of us have never used one and we are visual people. Thank you so so much. I am going to give this machine another chance. (yes, I was watching the beginner programs). I will be watching you a lot.

Hello, I’m in the process of watching all of your Silhouette Studio videos for tutorials. Thank you for doing these. QUESTION: Does this cream work the same and as good on stainless steel tumblers and containers? I have never used etched cream before, but I do want to learn it and become really good at it. Again, thank you so much! And you did take a long time with a long video! 13:24

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

I haven't tried the cream on a stainless tumbler, I doubt it would do much other than possibly lighten it a little if at all (the way those are generally made are with lasers). On powder coated it should though. Experimentation is life though, give it a shot! -TRW Crystal

Adhesive vinyl for the stencil and etching cream! It works like a dream. 😊 - TRW Haley

[@marymaddox7971]

I enjoyed your video. Your instructions are very clear. This is the first time I've responded with comments to any video on KZbin. I love glass etching. I think I enjoy it more than making decals with my Silhouette cutter, but it is still a fairly new skill for me. I have a question that I'm looking for an answer for. I attempted to etch a Pyrex casserole dish, but the etching cream didn't etch the design into the dish. There was only the faintest trace of parts of the design in the dish. I left the etching cream on for almost 30 minutes & my etching cream was was only a few months old. I was hoping you would have some suggestions as to why it didn't work properly or a suggestion on what to do to correct the problem because I would like to be able to etch Pyrex casserole dishes for wedding & Christmas gifts.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Thank you for reaching out to us! Some Pyrex products have fortified glass that can't be affected much by Armour Etch. I recommend trying to use the cream on another dish to figure out if the cream is defective or if the dish just can't be etched. Let us know if you have any other questions! :) -TRW Bri

[@marymaddox7971]

@@TheRhinestoneWorld I'll give this a try. Thank you for your help!

[@charj262]

Is there a video for how you made your cup holder?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

I can't find how or where we got that cradle, but if you just search up "tumbler cradle" on google, there are many similar options :) -TRW Bri

[@GodSpeed2SS]

does etching cream work on tumblers? or only on glass?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Good morning! We checked google for details on Armor Etch: Armour Etch is a fast-acting specially formulated glass etching compound that lets you create permanently etched designs on windows, mirrors and household glassware.” A few things to keep in mind is that this is not recommended for use on Pyrex, plastic or large solid areas of glass. Hope this helps! -TRW Pilar

[@gotchathinking]

What video would you refer me to set up for cutting. I want to etch a NFL logo on a decanter. Thanks

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

For cutting the vinyl? -TRW Crystal

[@kathleenangus3928]

What kind of fdc decal vinyl do you use?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You can use any Permanent Adhesive vinyl. Lately, we prefer our ColorSpark permanent vinyl to use as a stencil: www.therhinestoneworld.com/colorspark-permanent-adhesive-craft-vinyl -TRW Pilar

[@RosaAlvarez-qp7jl]

what kind of paper are you cutting? I am sorry I am new with the cameo 4

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

It's permanent adhesive vinyl used as a stencil. If it's not left on long term, then it's a great way to seal crisp lines on glass etching and easily removed. The longer it sits, the better it sticks, so don't let it stay on the cup for days. -TRW Crystal

[@Michelle-tz6nu]

can the etching apply on acrylic?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

We haven't tested it on acrylic, but as easily as it scratches from daily use, my bet would be that it would work, especially since it will on glass. :-) -TRW Crystal

[@Ash2134H]

Thank you for this process. Do you think its possible to put colored glass ink on the exposed area once you have washed the etching cream off the glass to give it the texture of etching along with a color. Example would be having a white mug and applying the same process but then using black glass ink to stain the exposed area once the etching cream is washed off - giving it a texture and appearance.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You could definitely try that, I would recommend putting the decal first and even adding vinyl shield to protect it for what you are trying to achieve. -TRW Mireya

[@shilokarstensen7580]

Mind blown!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

It works so well, too! Just be sure to have excess vinyl around your cut area to protect the rest of the glass. That etching cream will etch the rest of you accidentally go beyond the edge of your weed box. ;) -TRW Pilar

[@coryjeffreys5146]

I noticed you are using the business edition I was going to buy the business one but the one that came with my cameo is free so they say you have to have a paid version so business is 99 dollars but it is basic business so what is the difference between basic biz or if i bought designer first then upgrade to the business addition?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Here is a good comparison chart that will show you all the difference. I would recommend upgrading from the Basic Edition since you cannot import designs, the Business edition is best if doing rhinestones designs. www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/silhouette-studio-features-comparison-chart -TRW Mireya
