I have a question, I have sliding glass doors that we are etching a crane standing in wetlands on. If I choose to paint part of the etching, would the color be permanent? I am experimenting on the old glass doors that will soon be replaced.
If those metallic Markers are Alcohol Based... it might work. Always have a TEST glass on hand so you can test products out to see if you get your desired result BEFORE using it on your main glass piece.
Perfect timing! I'm making projects for my son and future daughter-in-law for their fall wedding! Champagne glasses, etched with their names and highlighted in gold, perfect! Adding it to the list as the other two projects are almost done. Thank-you! I have alcohol inks, you didn't show how to use them. I can get the buffing cream, is that more durable? I know it's only handwash but wondering about how long the shine lasts. Also, our etchall in the USA is cloudy, and we like the tone on tone, yours is a golden color. Do you know if that makes a difference. I would think not, just asking. Anymore tips would help.
The alcohol inks are super messy. I can show them in a tutorial in the next couple of weeks if you want. The rub n buff is not what I would call super shiny it is a dull shine if that makes sense. I’ve hand washed a fair few times and not had a issue but our water is soft so that makes a difference as well. In regards to the etchall, I don’t know is the honest answer.❤️
Kinda of... with the alcohol ink it is a liquid so it can run everywhere. most come in dropper bottle so you would just let tiny drops land into the etched area and keep them in the etched areas only as best to can and let it sit. Keep something underneath your item to soak up any excess that manages to run away from you. An ideal thing to have on hand to help distribute if it is not doing it simply by adding drops onto he etched surface is a small thin paint brush... this will allow you to move the ink around a little bit.
You could, there is no reason you couldn't, but keep in mind the product like Rub N Buff might actually mess the edges of your stencil. As far as re-using... I do not have a cricket... I actually to etching by hand with diamond tipped bits and a rotary tool... I don't use stencils because I do not do acid etching.... so I am not sure if those stencils are reusable. A lot depends on the material it is made from. There is a company online that sell blank sheets that you can create your own etching stencils on... one type are reusable... meaning you can use the same stencil up to 10 times, but you have to follow their instructions of how to properly remove it off the glass surface once you rinse the acid etching stuff off... and how to reapply back onto the stick sheet to store it until you need it again. If you like to know where to find it, let me know and I will share the name and the product info with you.
I have a question. when using alcohol ink, after painting it onto the etching areas and leaving it there for 15-20 minutes, do I need to remove any excess ink that didn't land on the etched areas so that way there's no mistake when trying to hand wash it with warm water to finish it out? Or will it wash out completely while the etched areas stay colored after waiting for 15-20 minutes? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
The Alcohol Ink will only stink into and stick to the roughed up etching surface... it shouldn't stick permanently to the smooth glass. If you are unsure... always have a TEST glass on hand and test out the product before you use it on your main glass piece.
I’m not sure you’ll be able to etch a ceramic pan because of the coating. I’ve personally not tried it. Pyrex for example can take up to 24hours with the cream on and the results can be very hit and miss. I would personally do a bit of research before trying it and I certainly wouldn’t try it on a ceramic item that holds value either monetary or sentimentally❤️
Is the colour permanent? It’s long lasting but as with all things it’s highly dependent on the situation. I advise hand washing only. Or even just wipe down with a cloth and light liquid soap if possible. I did these in the summer and they have been on my dining room table until the start of December and are doing absolutely fine. ❤️ The quality of slate, etch, inks and water (hard, clay etc) and soap used will all make a difference ❤️
@@kellylehman8851 alcohol inks are a little more difficult to wipe off the excess...try to have a little as possible for cleanup...you can try alcohol wipes but alcohol inks tend to stain just about everything sadly.
What do I use to wipe off the excess from the paint pens? When I use alcohol. It takes of everything. Not just the excess. I am etching words on shot glasses. So they are small and difficult to fill in and easy to have excess. I have waited to be sure the pens has dried but the moment I try any alcohol to remove excess, it removes from the etched area as well as the excess.
I love your extremely artistic approach, not to mention your precise English.❤
When adding the alcohol inks to the glass did you still have the stencil on there
i used Rub n Buff but the non-etched parts are also stained with the wax.. any way to get rid of that..? Thanks!
Can you dishwasher after etching cream on glass and or alcohol inks xxx
Great video by the way
I actually hand etch with a diamond tipped bits and a rotary tool.. will the same colour products work?
Many thanks for sharing this video! Super helpful!

Thank you, that's brilliant 👏
GREAT transfer tape removal techniques!!!
Is it dishwasher safe once it’s dried?
No, not likely to be permanent.
Bonjour, on peut passer au four pour fixer la couleur ? De cette manière on pourrait laver au lave-vaisselle ?
I know you mentioned to "hand wash". But do you know if a way to make it dishwasher safe? Adding a topcoat or something?
Thank you. You gave me courage to try. Did you say that you can use the ink on the glass as well. Could you also use metallic markers by any chance.
If those metallic Markers are Alcohol Based... it might work. Always have a TEST glass on hand so you can test products out to see if you get your desired result BEFORE using it on your main glass piece.

Can you use alcohol markers to achieve the same look instead of alcohol ink?
Great video😻❄️🇨🇦
Wondering if a Q-tip would work for more precise tiny details for the alcohol ink coloring? I have a shaky hand! 😂
Is the rub n buff permanent?
Hello
Is the process of using alcohol ink on glass same as buffing cream? Rub it onto the glass and leave for 15mins then wash?
Kinda of... with the alcohol ink it is a liquid so it can run everywhere. most come in dropper bottle so you would just let tiny drops land into the etched area and keep them in the etched areas only as best to can and let it sit.

Awesome video, but wondering when you will post about alcohol inc? :)
Just wondering, can you reuse the stencil? Also can you leave it on when done rinsing off the etching cream so you color with the alcohol ink?

I was just thinking of coloring the etching cream with color to see
Did that work?
What would you recommend for a white 9x13 inch ceramic pan that has a rough bottom?
I’m not sure you’ll be able to etch a ceramic pan because of the coating. I’ve personally not tried it. Pyrex for example can take up to 24hours with the cream on and the results can be very hit and miss. I would personally do a bit of research before trying it and I certainly wouldn’t try it on a ceramic item that holds value either monetary or sentimentally❤️
Can you still put them in dishwasher or do you have to hand wash
Hand wash lovely ❤️
Do I have to worry about the alcohol ink getting on a non etched surface of the glass? Is it easily removed?
It’s very easy but very messy. I will do a video on it in the next week or so specifically about alcohol inks ❤️
@@CriftyCrafty Awesome, thank you so much
Do you know of any inks on amazon that can work just as well?
I linked to Alcohol inks in the description ❤️
Is this a permanent solution?

paint pens work well with etched glass as well....just apply to area and wipe off excess...paint stays on etched area.
I can't get paint pens to stay in etching at all
@@kellylehman8851
it may be the type of glass you are using...have you tried staining it with alcohol inks?...apply and let sit for at least 15 min
What do I use to wipe off the excess?

LOVE THIS!!! Is the gold colour that you used Antique Gold or Gold Leaf?? Thanks.

Has anyone received a response?
How can I help?
