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.Recent in portfolio

Hydrofluoric acid is the one that does the job.

Yes it is hydrofluoric acid,and it is lethal. If you are going to use it, you MUST follow all precautions. It is absorbed through the skin and WILL kill you, there is no antedote.

Hydrofluoric acid….. but this is a deadly dangerous chemical and you probably wouldn’t be able to obtain it. If you want to frost or etch glass rub on carborundum paste with a stone.

None of them.
The substance you are looking for is Hydrofluoric acid (HF). It is absolutely lethal stuff, is highly toxic and causes dreadful burns if it comes into contact with skin.
Because it is so dangerous safety precautions state that nobody should work with it on their own.
It is normally stored in Polyethylene containers because of the way it reacts with glass.
