What a fantastic video! Great detail in explanation. Love the innovation here!

Great presentation.. like how you took your time to explain the process. And it came out cool as hell.

Neat video. I'm going to have to look at some more of your videos to see the process for how you cut out the lettering. Thanks for sharing! Mike

Maybe try both. 1st take painters tape,and mask off an area doesn't matter if its an oval, square, rectangle whatever works for you. Then do the swirl dip let dry next remove the tape"very carefully" then apply stencil,and do the etching also maybe clear coat for longer lasting effect. I think both would be very unique

This video has just inspired me thanksssssss

Where do I get the printable blue sticker paper you have? Etching sticky paper?

Can you also use the glass etching liquid?

great idea

Very cool to watch how this is done

would it be possible to cover name you want in vinyl and if the entire rest of the cup into the solution of vinegar that's all for that has a charge leaving the name Shinee

Michael Chase Late response but it's possible. Just need to make sure the vinyl stays completely stuck to the cup when you immerse it.

I have a question, I want to etch a name into a sword I have. it's 1095 high carbon steel, my only question is when I Polish it, will the etching go away, as polishing also involves removing material. I just don't want to spend the time and money etching it if polishing it gets rid of it.

It would probably be removed if you polished it.. I would try and polish before.

This is a great video. (advisement question for a novice) I wanted to know would etching low or mild carbon still etch with this method work (I don't know anyone to ask). Also would using painters tap (silhouette image on it) yield similar results on different metals. I hate buying gifts for people (impersonal and cheesy in some cases) some of my friends and family would love something half as elegant as your works of art.

DC does the etching (actual metal removal) AC will darken the metal. You can use an old style power cube and get both 12v dc and 12v ac and make a very usable etching device.

Would 12volt car battery work better or does a higher voltage battery just make the process faster?
