I was very nervous about using etching cream. This was my first experience using it and I have to say I love it. I am very excited now to start my wine bottle projects. Just as the directions state, very easy to use. I didn't notice any odors, did wear protective gloves and glasses as a precaution, left the cream on my project for about 4 minutes as recommended for the stencil that I used, and am very impressed ! I can't say enough positive about it!

Success reviving a pair of glasses with a scratched reflective coating

I used this product to remove a scuffed and scratched coating on my plastic lens glasses. Worked like a charm. Did a toothpick point sized drop first, was amazed at the results and went and did both lenses. Worked very well.

It works well if you leave it on longer.

This etching cream worked great, but I learned from experience with other brands that etching cream really only works well for me when I leave it in place for at least one hour. The directions may say that it works in just 3-5 minutes, but I disagree. I might even add a little more etching cream during the hour that it is on my project if it appears to be drying out. I used this cream on both drinking glasses and ceramic, and it worked equally well on both.

Removed the worn, foggy film from plastic prescription glasses!!!

I know it's not meant to be used to remove the film from prescription glasses, but I've got expensive progressive lenses and I take care of them, so they don't scratch, but the stupid film makes them unusable after about 2 years... and my prescription really isn't changing that much! My frames are getting a bit scraped! I'll need new glasses soon, but haven't had time to do that, and the coating was bubbled up so that it was like looking through a fog! So I tried this internet fix! AND IT WORKED! --->>> I had to dab a thick coat on with a Q-Tip, (my coatings are only on one side of the lens) --->>> I would leave it for 15-30 minutes, then gently rinse away and dry with a cloth. --->>> I had to do this about 3 to 4 times... some of the coating would still remain, but it gradually all came off. This stuff seems to leave the actual PLASTIC lenses untouched.

Will remove Anti-glare coating from Plastic lenses!

I purchased this to remove anti-glare coating from the plastic lenses in my prescription glasses. The anti-glare coating was so fogged and scratched that I could no longer use them. Using gloves, I applied the crème to the front and back of the lenses, let it sit, scrubbed the crème with a soft bristled brush, and then rinsed. The coating was gone! I can now use the glasses again!.

Great product! Saved me from buying new glasses.

This product is amazing. I like so many others had that annoying film on my glasses for the scratch resistance. After awhile it starts to peel and makes you dizzy from staring at it. I used this product and in less than 5 minutes my glasses looked brand new! It peeled off that layer of film like water. Be warned! Make sure you use gloves and when cleaning the glasses avoid touching any other part of your glasses other than the lenses!

Great results, these custom etched glasses will be a fantastic Christmas gift for my dad

I used this glass etching cream on (qty=4) pint glasses and (qty=2) quart mugs. Anchor Hocking Pint Mixing Glass - Rim Tempered - 16 Oz, Set of 2 German Style Extra Large Glass Beer Mug - 34 oz Total time for etching: 1 hour Prep and testing time: 4 hours Materials: -etching creme (3 oz) -glass to be etched -inverted decal sticker -Q-tips -Rubbing Alcohol -paper towels -kitchen sink with sprayer Process: 1) decided on a design, my dad has a big beard, so I decided to make a decal with a big beard and his name above looking like a kings crown. Did some google image searching, found the beard image. Used MS-paint to edit picture, used MS-publisher to add Word-Art. exported as BMP 2) Sent to my plotter/cutter. Made inverted decals, that is material removed where I want the glass to be etched. 3) cleaned glasses with alcohol and a paper towel 4) applied decal 5) applied etching cream with q-tip (see my layer thickness in attached pictures), swirling, dabbing, trying to keep cream evenly covered, swirl and dab, wait 5 min, swirl and dab again (moving cream around for even random coverage). Wait 5 min, swirl and dab, apply a little more creme maybe 25% as much as the first time to keep cream wet. (total 15 min) 6) wash off cream with medium pressure cold water kitchen sprayer, dry glass with paper towel, push on edges of decal to ensure none came up and would allow cream beneath it. 7) Coating 2, same process and length as first coat: (15 min total) 8) wash off cream with medium pressure cold water kitchen sprayer, dry glass with paper towel, remove decal with fingernails. wipe down with alcohol on a paper towel. --- see pictures, I think this came out great. crisp edges, even etching, very impressed!

I used dollar store glasses and got some great results. This stuff is really easy to use and even though the bottle is small, it will etch a lot. Highly suggest using cheap shelf liner for your stencils as it is easier to handle. I tried some regular vinyl and it was super hard to get all the bubbles out.

DMB shot glasses all around

Worked really well and fast. Found leaving it on closer to 5 mins did better. Also if you can get vinyl stickers of what your etching. Wipe with alcohol before you put sticker on and use gloves as to not get oils on the area. Made my custom Dave Matthews Band shot glassed and wine glasses a hit at camp this year at the gorge.

I really enjoyed using this

I saw a post on Pinterest in a crafting channel how to use this product to etch glass. I was intrigued, so I came here to Amazon and ordered this product. I tried this on several different kinds of glass. It worked very nicely on mugs and wine glasses. Where it really worked well was on some 12" x 12" decorative mirrors. I stenciled the word, "Beautiful" on the bottom and it came out wonderfully. I'll certainly be purchasing this again.
