Etching Glass with Armour Etch Cream and then add Rub and Buff to make the etch more vibrant.
When adding rub and buff it will come off the glass super clean and easy, and stays on the etched areas.
Do not use in dishwasher or use harsh glass cleaners on the surface.
Etch Cream and Rub & Buff are both waterproof

Thank you you explained it very well I just etch a casserole pan and it looked light to me so I will try and put the rub and buff

Remember to keep the design lower than where your mouth will be touching the glass. Rub N Buff isn't food grade or food safe. You do not want that stuff anywhere near your mouth!

Does it automatically seal? Or do you use something to seal it like a mod podge or sealant spray?

@TKTrooper 2 жыл бұрын

You don't need anywhere near that amount of rub'n'buff for something that size. Depending how often you use the stuff, with that amount you will burn through a tube fairly quick, which will start to get a little costly. Just the first blob you put on the "Hubby" glass should be plenty. The stuff goes a very very long way.

Thanks for the video! I saw some people used mod podge to protect the design when its being washed. Could we still add that after the rub and buff or will it mess the design up?

I had great success with the silver but I found the gold to be a nightmare. It just would not completely come off the glass that was not etched. I tried two different shades with the same results. I ended up having to use acetone to get almost all of it off and then use silver on top. Have you used gold successfully?

How long do you have to leave the etching cream for it to set properly? I've failed miserably doing this, maybe I didn't do it right and I want to succeed the 2nd time around. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

@itssojohnsondesign2626 Жыл бұрын

I leave it for a few minutes.. maybe 5 or so... what you can do is when you remove the etch cream dont remove your stencil vinyl yet. give it a wash and then dry it and you can see if it etched enough for you... a good way to know is once you wipe it dry look from the other side of the cup and you should see a "foggy" effect on the parts you etched. Hope this helps!

@itssojohnsondesign2626 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! You will gently wash however- Removable vinyl may lift a bit, but permanent vinyl will give you the best stick. As you dry it, be sure to pat dry as smaller pieces, and thin edges will flip and move with hard scrubbing

I've read that rub n buff washes off after about 10 washes is there a way to make it permanent?

@itssojohnsondesign2626 2 жыл бұрын

Rub and Buff is permanently into glass, its when you start chipping at it or scraping it that youll begin to fade it. Also because we used etch cream on the base it helps to hold the rub and buff in, as would if we sanded the material. It adheres stronger with that surface sanded or with the etch

@vickyb9918 2 жыл бұрын

These look nice. Why don’t you use painters tape around stencil so that no etch cream accidentally gets on the other areas of glass?

@itssojohnsondesign2626 Жыл бұрын

You can definitely do that. Or the vinyl is fine if you give yourself enough room from the design to the edges

When using Armour Etch, please use plastic (not latex, not vinyl, thick plastic/rubber) gloves. That stuff is no joke and can burn through your skin, muscle tissue, and even seep into your bones. It is an extremely dangerous product that needs to be handle with care.

@jennifersmith6500 5 ай бұрын

I've been etching with Armour Etch for 25 yrs. LOVE IT. I put a good even heavy coat on, wait a few minutes and wash off with warm/ hot water then clean as usually. I've left it on a few minutes to an hour. NO difference in shade. I always lay my glasses down to help make sure no shadow. I have left it on my arm for an hour and NO issues. My kids wanted to help mom and now my grandson so I've repeated that and again no issues. But everyone is different.
