How to Etch Glass with Armour Etch Cream and Vinyl

[@laneshiahawkins4795]

I’m new to etching and this video is by far the best one I’ve seen. Great detailed video and explanations from start to finish!

[@143VINYL]

Glad it was helpful!

[@laurabrey3128]

@@143VINYL so If I have an image with a picture and the name do I weed out the letters and the image of let's say a deer head?

[@mslindagibbs]

Great video, thank you! My first attempt at etching and I did pretty good.Should have left cream on a little longer.I watched several tutorials and the times were slightly different.From start to finish you hit every point.Good job explaining!!

[@mikeyg751]

Additional Pro Tip. Follow her instructions exactly, but add damp old cloths (Environmentally friendly) vs baby wipes, and wash every glass you want to etch with Dawn using a mild abrasive (Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Scrubber), really put some effort with friction [NOT MAX SCRUBBING FORCE] (No it won’t scratch decent quality glass), then proceed with her instructions. This removes any waxing or polishing from the factory (Raw Surface) [Even brighter etching]. Spreading the etching cream like icing without much pressure is the best method. ☝🏻👏🏼🤩Brushes give inconsistent patterns if not applied very quickly (“Spreading” as much as possible on the first pass as quickly you can with no breaks in application provides the most even etch.) If you do the above you will get a VERY sharp, white, and even etching. ❤ EXCELLENT TUTORIAL BTW!!!

[@teresamonday81]

I just did my first etching today. Loved this tutorial. Im now obsessed with this fun craft....

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

I have always liked this process, but like everything, I am intimidated to try it. Your tutorial is very well explanatory and simple. Thank you for the time you take doing it for us. I personally appreciate it very much.

[@143VINYL]

You're so welcome! I'm so glad it's helpful :).

[@franciscoortiz2719]

Try it it’s just like she said it works perfectly try it on a dollar piece of glss

[@MoonlitBeauty18]

Wanted to etch a few candle glasses but wasn't sure how to go about it. Your video is by far the most detailed, informative video. Thank you so much for explaining the process step by step for those of us who are just a babe in the forest when it comes to etching!

[@tanyacarter873]

Alex I am new to etching and truly appreciate you step by step video showing how to etch glass and the careful use on how to use the etching product.

[@billiepeters5830]

You did an amazing job explaining this. I'm following along and you made it so easy for my first time etching. Very informative and detailed video. Keep up the great work.

[@rosariogonzalez6535]

Thanks for the baby wipes tip. I just started etching and this was very helpful.

[@143VINYL]

You're welcome! Baby wipes have always been my favorite way to clean off my etching!

[@leondejonge3861]

This video just saved me a helluva lot of effort and stress, Thank you

[@LettyHooper]

Thank you so much, I just watched your easy to follow video and I finally was brave enough to try it, and it WORKED, I'm so happy with the results.

[@karynb4926]

I loved this video but in the instructions that I got from the armour etch it says 1 and 5 min for leaving the cream on. My results were also some blotchiness. Love the baby wipe idea. Now if i can just got my vinyl on without or bubbles in a centerish way thatd be great

[@Rachaelbot]

Okay, this is super helpful. Another video I saw said to just leave it on for 3 minutes... And that didn't seem long enough. So I'll try the full 15 minutes. Thanks so much!

[@Gorjuzz]

This is my first time learning about etching this is awesome. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you so much for the inspirational video!

[@kHoPhAe]

Thank you for giving the right instructions and being so detailed! The other channel I listed to said 60 secs and it came out really weak and bad.

[@HangoutByTheSea]

Good vid. Watch a few others, I like your very thorough, not drawn-out directions with tips! Thank you so much!

[@cspotstudioentertainment5164]

Thank you for sharing. I will try Etching for the first time on 9-30-2021. Birthday gift. I enjoyed your particular video on this.

[@audaniataylor4853]

About to do an etching design with Craftsman Crate and I am very excited! Appreciate this video with the clear instructions.

[@sandymock9823]

Alex, I've done etching before and love how it makes plain glass special. Great gift idea for the bride and groom and if you put the date on the item it will be extra special.

[@143VINYL]

Yes absolutely! If I had a second one I definitely would have done a set!

[@BeansOfStarlight]

you made this really easy to understand! I can't wait to see my grandad's face when I give him his fancy new beer glass, thank you!!!!!

[@laurabrey3128]

I'm doing the same thing for my husband's birthday coming up..

[@MurrayXperience]

Never heard of etching cream before. I’m amazed 🎉

[@samanthamoles4186]

Can you use removable vinyl instead of permanent?

[@snehlachhani332]

Can you use a brush to apply? How long do you leave the product on for? The longer you leave you does it get more frosty? Thanks Sneh

[@yvonnebush3687]

Can you do this on a window pane 16”x16” for privacy and make your own pattern? Does it have to be a stencil or can you just tape on the pattern, a reverse idea to what you have shown?

[@crackshotscreenprinting]

im using the same etch cream and the directions on it says 3 minutes not 15, but I won't argue with your results. Looks great.

[@milesfifer171]

That looks great! And very easy, i been etching with my sand blaster but sometimes it ruins the edge of the stencil so I'd like to try it this way. Does it just color the glass or does it actually etch the glass? Thanks for the video.

[@sheilamims783]

Can you do on plastic outdoor glasses

[@tallzeez]

Is the green colored pen a special type of pen? (the one being used to remove the stencil design from the vinyl in the beginning)?

[@harleykapeliela6203]

Is there a way to remove it in case of any mistakes made?

[@jaimeeoww]

if i leave it on for 30 or 45 minutes does it etch deeper? i would try it myself but i am trying to evaluate this before i buy some. thanks for the great tutorial!

[@KarenGutowski]

Can you use tempered glass also

[@anthonydella4127]

What's better to use permanent vinyl or removable vinyl?

[@staciefogliasso-reel134]

Wow :) great video. I have tried, and failed. I notice that I was using the the wrong thing to apply the cream. Also, the cream I am using looks very different than yours. I think mine is way too thick. maybe it's old. I'll try the Armour.

[@danielmoyes6530]

Am doing my first etching glass and this video is supper

[@edelisadacruz9993]

Wow. Great instructions. I just bought the smaller bottle for an order. This made me comfortable😅. Thank you 😊

[@SchnuffiJames]

Can you use Denatured alcohol to clean the glass?

[@nicprovencal2969]

i have never done etching but it looks amazing i will be trying it soon

[@papelatbp...8450]

I will do some etching for a door glass for my son's school. I'm not sure if this will work on any glass. Thanks.

[@jalesiapacknett4637]

I want to try this etching cream but I’m pregnant so I don’t want to take any risks with the chemicals. I know you can use spray paint but I’m not sure it Will give me the same result

[@debonisasarab5567]

Where do I buy the stencils for wedding emblems?

[@robyn4556]

Great video. What font did you use? Also, what size did you make did you make your stencil.

[@TheConstructionlady]

My etching didn't take. On the bottle it says 1 to 3 minutes should i try the 15 minutes you did here?

[@funisgood1872]

what about clean up? Can you reuse your brushes? How do you clean them?

[@makeshiamullins4144]

I'm new at this. Why use "permanent adhesive vinyl" instead of Removable adhesive vinyl?

[@lisadurrwachter4549]

So you can use permanent vinyl and can you share which video shows how you did the stencil for the glass? It turned out beautiful!

[@cherylhunter3739]

I want to etch a poem on a glass frame. Can I use my Cricut stencil vinyl? And do you just use the basic cut function?

[@marianmoyer6042]

I enjoyed your video, looking forward to my first project. Your use of baby wipes is a very good idea.

[@livingtocreate3993]

What type of decal vinyl you are using?

[@laurinha348]

Donde puedo comprarlo en Chile? O se puede comprar por internet? Donde? Por favor agradecería la informacion

[@gunner5217]

What does the transfer tape actually do ?

[@ginnyromero4100]

Can you use the same stencil multiple times?

[@ethansdad3d]

The etching cream contains very dangerous chemicals. It's is absolutely required that you wear nitrile gloves for protection. Do NOT touch with your bare skin at all, ever. Also, you should wear safety glasses and a respirator. It can cause permanent damage to your skin and airway.

[@cathysackfield7982]

If you want the etching to be more prominent can you leave it on longer

[@croniclz]

Can you remove excess after it's done? I left it too long and it dripped onto the glass where I didn't want it. 😔

[@joannpruitt7710]

I’m new to Etching also and I ordered a stencil off of Etsy. It’s just a piece of plastic with the words cut out! There’s not sticky backing! Help how do I get this to stay on my glass jar?

[@lorettajanes1306]

Is there a design pen you can use

[@chc94]

What size design do you recommend for a wineglass? I'm about to try this and don't want to have something too large to control.

[@nany2819]

Thank you so much for this video. Can I use permanent vinyl as the stencil? Or would it be better if I use removable vinyl?

[@deevah2450]

How long does it last? Forever?

[@sandragarcia4490]

Do you know why my mug isn’t etching? I’m using this armour etch

[@jsklaver]

Can you etch without etching cream?

[@latricianurse109]

It was a pleasure watching you,I would like to get some help

[@travisstamp7428]

Is this safe for car windows?

[@gabyestrada3334]

Thank you! For being so detailed! You helped me stain my bridesmaids glasses! I messed up on 2 so far. I have all the groomsmen glasses left to do. Any tips on getting the bubbles out from the cuts I have to make due to the round glass?

[@paulagrelha9456]

I see you used permanent vinyl for the stencil, can removable vinyl be used?

[@jencronin8531]

Can you etch with the same product Armour etch on plastic?

[@RalphBOVO]

Are you able to attain a deeper etch if you clean of the first layer after the 15min and add a second layer?

[@CharleyCherokee]

I wish I would have watched this video before I did my etching. I used masking tape and make a complicated stencil. The stencil turned out ok, but I followed the directions on the bottle of etching cream and it came out very light and unnoticeable. The stencil probably would have been easier to make with vinyl as well.

[@elainedennison6093]

Have never etched but am ready to start. Not sure that i understand what you get to start. Is it just a stencil or a decal. Where do i purchase the transfer paper or decal. I need help. Thank you

[@lauracastro1487]

Love this video but I may just order reusable vynil stencils. I've never tried it before. Just got my cream today. I'm really excited to try it. Any ideas for a baby shower?

[@ric73eee51]

Hi does it matter what the template is made from as long as its plastic and sticky,? And the glass does it matter if its safety glass??

[@Macrivan]

Can it be used in stainless steel mugs? Or regular glass coffe mugs?

[@jencronin8531]

Can you etch on plastic?

[@chrisperry3525]

Can I etch a car window? And if so, inside or outside is the better choice?

[@theextrovertedintrovert_am]

Can you etch acrylic boards?

[@ericwiltz6584]

Can you etch tempered glass without having any damage to the temper? I have a piece of 3/16 tempered glass on a firewood passthrough door and would like to etch the entire piece of glass?

[@anoceanview609]

Wow! I haven't tried etching yet! Thanks for the info. Buying etching cream now!

[@143VINYL]

You're welcome! You're going to love it!

[@grannyicu1458]

what did you use to remove the vinyl so not to scratch the glass

[@meghanmaki271]

what type of transfer roll are you using?

[@donnanorsworthy3940]

I have used Armour Etching Cream before with wonderful results. But I tried to use it on 3 pie plates today and none of them would etched. ???

[@audreybrown2536]

i want to try etching a glass and i have a svg file and its of a couple, do i need to group them or attach them so that they cut as one rather than small individual cuts ?? Your video is fab and makes it looks so easy, fingers crossed it is as easy !

[@dmnevarez]

Does this product comes in other colors or just that one?

[@michaelyoung6837]

Can you add colors to the etch

[@suelopez99]

Can you etach in color?

[@JDVBinSD]

Love this video. I am working on table numbers for my daughter's wedding but wanted to do a test run on something else before starting on those. Question. I don't have baby wipes but do have Antibacterial wipes. Any reason for not using those?

[@amymh0533]

Hi! I'm new to the channel. I am trying etching for the first time today so thank you for the tutorial. My question is actually about the transfer tape though, what kind of transfer tape do you use?

[@susiestevens4391]

Hi! Ive never etched before and now i have to out of necessity. I've ruined these glass barn doors when i sanded the frames around glass. This would be a good project to cover those and also for privacy to bathroom. Do you think that's a good idea? I don't know how to upload a pic

[@RyrysGirl_GoHomeBoyss]

As long as it is glass it will be ok. I think there is a spray paint type of permanent window frost that may be a better option since it is for a larger project . there is brushe paint and film with the same frost finish.

[@cocoedwards3404]

Can etching be removed from glass

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I’m facing a couple of challenges. I tried permanent, removable, stencil vinyl (all the brands that were available) and Smart Flexible vinyl. I tried using both regular transfer tape and strong grip but can’t seem to get the image to stay on the glass. I’m burnishing like crazy but it lifts up on the transfer tape. Any suggestions? TIA

[@morganhansbury2543]

I did my first etching this past weekend and it came out great! But I wish I would have watched some KZbin videos first for some tips. Your tips and tricks are so helpful and I will be using them on my next one. Now just to find a good way to hold glass still.

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

Maybe get old bath towel fold up a little like a pillow to lay project on

[@shannawilliams5229]

Great video. Couple questions does the etching cream come in different colors and if not how do you get your words to be etched in different colors?

[@lifewithtasheka1657]

You can use glass paint or rub n buff

[@ladymisslady]

I've bought 2 different bottles and they both have chunks in them. Is that normal??? It's very frustrating because they get in the way and it messes up the etching.

[@joekabro6121]

for some reason the Etching cream NOT sticking to the glass,even though I waited one hour not 15 minutes like you said?

[@remymom]

So we can use any vinyl? Thank you

[@lorettajanes1306]

Loved this video, very easy to follow. Looking forward to starting this new craft thank you

[@analiaf.j.6131]

Hi, can I use any fonts for this? Or they have to be the stencil fonts that have bridges? Thank you.

[@joshuadamm9344]

How do you make it colored like that?

[@jazzyjazz675]

Can you remove etch cream if you mess up ?

[@RS-lh4nu]

Why do you use the transfer tape if only to take it off and leave the vinyl.

[@joannpruitt7710]

Do you make and sell Vinyl Stencils for Etching?
