Thanks for the links. I Googled "glass etching cream" and can get
everything I'll need (except for the courage to actually take this project
on), including "how to."


If you do use actual etching cream, make ABSOLUTELY sure you you
follow all directions for safety. Read the MSDS on them if you can
find it. Many of them will penetrate bare skin and give subtissue
burns which are not immediately apparent.

I'm not saying stay away from the stuff... Thet are fine products and
will do a nice job. I'm just saying be careful.

I recently used McKay Velvet Etching Cream and was really pleased with
it. What *REALLY* pleased me was that when i called the company to
get the MSDS and instructions, Bob McKay answered the tech support
line and emailed me the information in under an hour.
(I have no connections with this company. (Well, at least none of
which that I know.))

At a glance, I'm not seeing any stencils/patterns available

For etching, it's likely you would use contact paper and cut out the
design (leaving the paper where you do not want to etch)

If you want to play around, look for the spray can stuff which is
really a cloudy clear paint. It will be much more forgiving as the
results are reversible with a scraper.

good luck!
