Superb!! Nice and simply straight to the point!!

***Recommend gloves when working with a hydroflouric acid. It can cause a lot of damage to skin. (And lungs).

[@angelsartography1178]

Omg crazy she's not wearing gloves. Wow.

[@Caninecancersucksrocks]

Absolutely a must - I also wear either safety glasses or the same mask I wear when working with resin, it’s both a face shield & ventilator (the type generally used by industrial painters/contractors). I have seasonal asthma, so I tend to be a little more cautious than some.
This stuff gives amazing results I just haven’t found with anything else I’ve tried, but you MUST be careful. This stuff is no joke & extremely caustic.

Thanks for being direct and quick. Great video!

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

Thank you for going out of your way to comment - hope it helps you with glass etching :)

[@MrsLauraHalloween]

Thank you so much for this there’s so many videos and there so confusing but your was really great and straightforward so thank you. X

[@faye4599]

This is the best "How To" video. You go through the steps and explain them to easily understand. Thank you! I can't wait to try it myself.

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

Thank you!

[@faye4599]

You're welcome!

[@xavierhilts9652]

Thanks for the intro vid ) Was interested to hear it's reusable, I always wasted it off, if my pot of etch is thick consistency is water ok to water it down?

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

I wouldn't risk watering down, but definitely scrap off your excess back into your tub to reuse

[@michellecassell2038]

is rubbing alcohol the same as the spray you used?

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

yes :)

[@tracisusong6991]

What brand transfer tape do u use

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

I use a cheap one from Amazon, any will do, just avoid the strong grip ones for easier transfer onto the curved surface

[@momster_z]

Great quick straight forward instructions.

[@fariemat5316]

thank you for your video....I would like to ask how long does an 80g bottle of etching cream last....

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

guess it depends how much you use it, but mine is only a small bottle, 35g I think? lasted me over a year so far and only half used. I've made maybe 20/30 glasses with it so far?

[@chrissewell25]

Stunning. Thank you for sharing

[@mariaphilomena1422]

Don’t they sell stencils that are sticky on one side? It seems like you need a cricket machine to do these projects with the etching cream

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

I've not heard of them but I'm sure they'd work. Similarly if you attach stencils it may work if you spray down with something like pixie spray. my demo is specifically for using it with a Cricut vinyl stencil - great question

[@nataliegibson5604]

I fancy trying this out but I would know where to get the non permanent vynal from

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

You can get online from Amazon or hopefully there’s a local store for you too

[@dgconnelly]

What happened at the 1:20 mark, after "apply the transfer tape?" The stencil got cut out?

[@faye4599]

After she applied the transfer tape she removed the backing of the stencil the backing is white which is why when you see it at the 1:12 mark where she applied the transfer tape the design is white but you'll notice right before the scene changes to her applying it to the glass she flipped the stencil over like she was removing something. She was actually and probably should've showed that part for some people that don't know how some of those stencils work. It's actually sticky and the transfer tape is only used to help give you something to hold onto other than the stencil so you're not compromising the stickiness of the stencil itself and to help you apply it straight and without wrinkles and such. I can see where you got lost because the design was white when all of the sudden the scene changes and then the stencil is cut out completely. It kinda makes you feel like you missed a large part of the process. In this case the cutting out of the stencil but that was done much earlier.

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Beautiful 💕💕💕

[@joseagosto546]

how did you put your logo on to the vinyle paper

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

I used my cricut maker to cut out a design I had on a SVG file. usually you'd use the 'letters' but this time I used the negative space, hope this helps

[@jaysiegel4113]

I thought Ii said under 5mins it’s a lot longer then that you have to leave the cream on for 10 minutes and Prior to that you have to cut the vinyl LIES

[@WeekendCraftaholic]

sorry to mislead you - the Tutorial is less than 5 minutes

[@nursebecky2006]

good grief

[@Leadership_matters]

He he

[@michaelanoggle8347]

It’s more so…that you misunderstood her post.

[@dgconnelly]

Ohhhh, the vinyl is cut before the transfer tape?
