Armour Etch

Armour Etch is a brand of glass etching cream sold at craft and hobby shops in almost all the states. There is an exception to some of the states though, because the cream is sometimes used by vandals to etch glass on storefront windows, car windows, and home windows. Due to this problem in some states, it has been illegal to sell. Obviously this would help stop the problem with ruining perfectly fine glass.

If you are in a state that doesn’t allow people to purchse the cream, you may still be able to buy it over the internet. There are multiple sources to buy the Armour Etch glass cream. Just do a search and you should be able to fine a great assortment bottle sizes.

Just remember that a small bottle will probably not last very long unless your etching very small items or only doing it a few times.  The glass etches best when you apply a thick layer of the acid cream on.  This allows a consistent etch with no streaks.  A light application of the cream may not contain enough acid to etch the glass.  So its best to apply the cream heavily.
