Deco-Chem Beaded Etch 6086

The coarse texture of sand blasted glass can be simulated by applying Deco-Chem’s Beaded Glass Etch ink. The appearance is similar to Simulated Glass Etch, but with bigger particles for a coarser texture. They make glass decorating safer by allowing screen printers to avoid sand blasting or the hazard of using hydrogen fluoride etch solutions.
