Re: Etched Glass

I'm a retired stained glass dsigner-builder-restorationist. Any professional stained glass supply house is likely to have etched glass scraps with various degrees of roughness lying around. (I used to have a boxful, but I recycled it when I retired.) The store will probably be happy to grind down the raw edges so you won't get cut. I'll bet they won't even charge you (since the grinder is sitting right there ready to go and this job would take maybe ten seconds, for somebody who's really slow...).

I don't recommend etching the glass yourself. You'd have to pay more for the acid (and buy way more than you'll ever need) than you'd ever have to pay for the etched glass, and that acid is way, way, way too dangerous for a typical home workshop.
