'61, you may already be familiar with it but Michael's Crafts sells a product call Armour Etch

An acid creme for etching glass. Because it is a creme, it stays in place and is safer than a liquid (it's still caustic, but it's easier to control where it goes)

It's made for etching designs in glass, it can be difficult to get even coverage on large areas. Maybe etching twice would give better coverage?

@ MadDog....I will check that out .This may work [email protected] vintage glass balls are
thick and do not break when cutting.They work great for lamps , however the colors look
the best as swag lamps and hanging float lamps .The vintage floats you are referring to
work well for putting the lit up puffer fish inside as well.Swanky you still have any
large puffer fish available....I could use a few .
