Additional Pro Tip. Follow her instructions exactly, but add damp old cloths (Environmentally friendly) vs baby wipes, and wash every glass you want to etch with Dawn using a mild abrasive (Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Scrubber), really put some effort with friction [NOT MAX SCRUBBING FORCE] (No it won’t scratch decent quality glass), then proceed with her instructions.

This removes any waxing or polishing from the factory (Raw Surface) [Even brighter etching]. Spreading the etching cream like icing without much pressure is the best method. ☝🏻👏🏼🤩Brushes give inconsistent patterns if not applied very quickly (“Spreading” as much as possible on the first pass as quickly you can with no breaks in application provides the most even etch.)

If you do the above you will get a VERY sharp, white, and even etching. ❤

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL BTW!!!

Never heard of etching cream before. I’m amazed 🎉

Okay, this is super helpful. Another video I saw said to just leave it on for 3 minutes... And that didn't seem long enough. So I'll try the full 15 minutes. Thanks so much!

The etching cream contains very dangerous chemicals. It's is absolutely required that you wear nitrile gloves for protection. Do NOT touch with your bare skin at all, ever. Also, you should wear safety glasses and a respirator. It can cause permanent damage to your skin and airway.
