Title: glass etching stencils
Post by: TLea on April 23, 2020, 06:45:08 PM
Does anybody have a source for someone that makes glass etching stencils? Not looking for company that sells glass etched but the stencils themselves
Thanks

I used to use tape and hand cut them. I'd print what I wanted and glue that to 3 layers of masking tape and use an xacto. Works for one off but if you are looking to make a lot of items like glasses consider getting some cut out of brass. If you are trying to make correct dates on glass there are some newer tough tapes you could probably get cut at any decal cutter.

Tim;

    I have a gold concours 1956 Austin Healey.  Original windshields are nonexistent.  A gentleman named Richard Gordon had glass etching decals made to be etched onto the glass of the windshield to make them look authentic.  He has a whole process to etch the decal on to the glass.  If done properly it is undetectable. The company who made the decals was Rayzist.  They are in California.

Thanks guys for the replies. I am very familiar with process, we do them in house a lot. The guy that did my stencils disappeared (died?) and I need a new supplier. I don't want the type for sand blasting but the type to use with etching cream
