New dichroic etching pen technique
I devised an alternative approach to drawing and etching imagery onto dichroic glass using a new resist pen system.
One of the biggest differences in this course is the working window during etching. The traditional Sharpie method begins breaking down very quickly once the etching cream is applied, giving a short window before the design starts becoming eroded.
The resist pen method I discovered withstands the etching cream much longer, giving a far more manageable working window and allowing multiple pieces to be etched at once with much greater control.
Also, before etching, the drawing can be corrected, and fine internal detail can be added inside the design.
I made a short course about it, released today if interested- For more information click on the link:
