Etching Cream

By Etched Crystals on November 9, 2011 in Etching Material

Etching cream is an acidic liquid used to permanently highlight cuts made into a crystal surface. This type of cream is typically made from hydrofluoric or sulfuric acid. Etching crystal is a craft that combines powerful chemicals with a fairly simply process to modify the appearance of crystal windows, doors and dishes.

To use etching cream, place the stencil or design against the crystal surface. Secure the cream into place using tape. Tracing the design into the crystal using your knife. Remove the stencil and clean the crystal thoroughly.

The etching cream fills the space in the crystal created by the cuts, so that the lines are visible. When selecting a project to use etching crystal, think about the design, complexity, crystal structural strength, and time required. This type of craft is very manual, providing creative opportunities for skilled artisans.
