Can you cite a reference for your acid rain assertion? People have
stored nitric and sulfuric acid in glass bottles for decades without,
to my knowledge, any problems.


Better tell these guys

Acid-Etched and Patterned Glass
Slumped glass not the answer for you? Fortunately, there are several other
decorative glass products available that can provide you with an equally
unique look for your home.

Acid-etched glass, which is created by dipping regular glass into an acid
solution that permanently etches the surface, has a very modern look to it,
points out Richard Balik of General Glass International, a supplier of the
product.

Unlike slumped glass, it has a smooth surface which is more or less flat.
Offered in several colors, acid-etched glass is available with a variety of
designs etched into the glass surface, so that you can pick and choose which
look best suits your home.
