Does anyone have tips on how to etch glass, what to use, and how to get it?

Use a diamond pen. If you are really having trouble finding one, I can lend you mine.

I really don't know, mine is quite old, and I guess they're expensive. If you need it, its yours.

Certain types of ink will stain glass.

Glass etcher can be found at most major craft stores. If you're going to buy it, buy away from home and use cash.

My friend has glass etch he somehow managed to rack from out local arts and craft store... Also if you go to your local hardware store and buy a sander drill bit it works like a charm. if your using etch make sure to be carefull and wear gloves that shit burns to the bone.

Buy some and fill up in an empty shoe polish applicator. You will get a better writing style, more fluid flow in the lines and a good drip.... not that I have any experience with it or anything.

I wouldn't use a shoe polish bottle just becuase etch is dangerous its a good idea but that shit can burn into your skin man.

Well, talking to friends, NEVER BY MYSELF MIND YOU, if you wear gloves, then you can transfer it.

ya I talked to one of my friends today and he said it would work if you just rap a cloth around your hand and the bottle and wear gloves though I got to warn anybody using etch to be careful besides that have fun
