Glass Etching With Armour Etch

Today in The Smugglers Room we do a little glass etching with Armour Etch to up the level of geekness in our glassware. This process is super easy and incredibly rewarding. So let's dive in!!!

Woodford Reserve is a great cocktail mixer! I have to admit that I love seeing what other folks rename classic cocktails for the Star Wars universe, since I renamed the Old Fashioned to an 'Old Rebellion'. Also, my chances of getting a Pappy Van Winkle is about the same as getting a Palpy Van Wrinkle: Admittedly a newish label, Palpy was originally started by rebel commandos stationed at the Talay Tak Base from the early days, and since the death of the Emperor, has become a fairly limited run every few years of concussion missile-tube aged bourbon that has notes of kingwood, nuts, and dewback leather with a distinct caramel and cream nose. The taste is gently sweet, combining Rodian honey, spices from Ithor, and sweetsap from the forests of Endor. A lingering finish of kingwood is achieved by the kingwood staves that are added to the distilling process halfway through.

When you said Solo cup I thought you were going to etch Han Solo on a glass because Solo cup.

A tip on safety. That warning on the bottle is not a joke. Glass etch is hydrofluoric acid. That stuff can pass your skin and flesh and just start eating away at your bones, seriously. VERY dangerous stuff. The paste is going to be fairly low concentration but still playing with it with out gloves is asking for a world of hurt. It will eat pretty much anything except plastic, but as I said the most noxious part is that you can get it on your skin and not feel a burn but it will pass on in and start eating your bones.
Stay safe.

Looks cool though.

This is making me think. What fruit was used for the Pallies that Anakin bought for Padme` and Qui-Gon?

Nom Nom Very nice. btw I've never chemically etched glass before!

[thefwaynes]

if you dont want to etch into glass just pick back up that solo cup and write "han"
that was a bad joke i know. love the vid by the way

Alright, this is ridiculous. I was searching for exactly the same thing about one hour ago. If this is some kind of Truman Show prank, please stop!

No wonder why you're my favorite geek! Keep up the good work!

I know this is an older video but I hope I can get a reply. I tried my hand at some glass etching and the vinyl I used must not have been the best. I had a REALLY hard time getting it to adhere to the glass, and I ended up with pockets of Armour Etch that got where it was not supposed to and more or less ruined a few pf the pieces I was working on.
Not overly worried since I went into the whole project expecting things like this to happen. But I wanted to see if you had a recommendation for the best type of vinyl to use for a project like this. I noticed yours was a semi transparent blue? Not sure if that was for a purpose or just what you had on hand.
