Glassblowers don't use silicon dioxide alone to make glass -- it's got a really high melting point and it becomes very viscous when it melts. So they add other things into the mix to make the glass easier to blow. These might include different metals and metal oxides, like alumina, ma...
The etching cream leaves a permanent mark in the glass and will have to be replaced.It is used mostly for etching designs into glass cups and wine glasses, but can be used for many other things also. The bad thing about using the cream is it doesn’t produce a consistent etch on ...
