The best glass etching liquid that I have found thus far is called Brown velvet and can often be picked up at your local Michael’s or arts and crafts store. It will come in a large tub container and the liquid will be a thick gooey brown substance with chunks of what appears to be glass in it. Beware about getting it on your hands though cause it is a strong acid and will harm you.

About Me
ALES LOMBERGAR is one of the few artisans in Europe who still practice the ancient art of glass acid etching which flourished in the late 19th century. Decorations are applied with resin resists by hand and then exposed to acid baths, with no machinery used. More information here.
