Hello, dear forum members. My apologies in advance if I'm writing something incorrectly. I'm from Russia and using a translator.
I'm interested in chemically matting (etching) glass. Using paste. But also using a silk screen. Using direct printing. I haven't found any mention online of glass factories in the US using this technology for applying matte patterns to sheet glass. However, it's a very cost-effective and quick method.
I made this sauna door with my paste in 5 minutes.
As far as I know, only one type of glass frosting paste is produced and sold in the US: Armour Etch.
It's only suitable for applying fine patterns to small glass objects. I supply my similar paste to children's art centers, where children enjoy crafting. For some reason, my paste is 10 times cheaper than Armour Etch.
I would be very happy to chat here with colleagues interested in chemical glass frosting.
There's a manual method for applying the paste, and an automatic method. I demonstrated both methods in the video.
