Glass etching cream is a chemical product used to create designs on glass surfaces. It typically contains abrasive materials and acids that react with the glass, resulting in a frosted appearance. This cream is often applied using stencils or templates, allowing for precise patterns and images. When using glass etching cream, safety precautions are essential. It is important to wear gloves and goggles to protect the skin and eyes from irritation. The etching process is relatively simple: apply the cream, let it sit for a specified time, and then rinse it off to reveal the etched design.
