DIY glass etching for CO2 nucleation

Post by **RubberToe** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 12:06 pm

Hey all,

Has anyone here looked into etching the bottom of glasses for CO2 nucleation points? I wouldn't mind doing this for my Brewnosers glasses that don't have it.

I worked a summer at a car dealership way back when, and we had something there to etch glass, can't remember the product name sorry. What I do remember though was that it was a pink cream, and we just used a q tip to apply, and then rinsed with water

Yeah I've seen people use this stuff to etch lettering in glass. I wonder if it would do an ok job for this... maybe I could test it on a dollar store glass.

Aren't the commercial ones lazer etched?

You can buy the chemical stuff on Ebay. I would think it would do a very similar job to the laser etch, but like you said, just test on a cheap glass first.

Just look around parking lots, and if you see a car with security numbers etched I'm the glass have a peek and see if you like the results. We used vinyl stencils
