Anyone know how I can etch a small glass worktop saver cheaply to stop

Can't help re. the etching...but I use a finely textured wall tile (
free sample ) and an optical mouse.

Hmm not an option that had occurred to me - one worthy of further
investigation :-p


What sandpaper abrasive's harder than glass?

As a youngster I used to grind the surface of glass for photographic
purposes using another bit of glass and a paste of Vim-type scourer.
Worked a treat.

A glass worktop saver might be a bit tougher, so you may have to
resort to ordinary glass. No harm in experimenting though.
