    i got this etch cream, i think it's complete garbage... i don't know what to mix it with and i'm not gonna fuck with it until i get confirmation.

    then i got "etch paint" whatever the fuck that is. so i have one of both, and two empty mops, and i wanna go fuck shit up but i have no clue what to do with it. i just know it's hazardous to your health if it gets on skin or if you inhale it.. so i'm not trying to fuck with it.

    it'll be a waste. if you dont care about permanency then use the dye alone, but GK or pen ink would be my first choice.


    simple zen, im not totally sure if etch cream can be thinned down with vinegar, but its been said to work so if you want, just experiment with a very small amount of it to see if it thins down. wear latex gloves, if you're worried about inhaling too much wear a resp. and its always good to have some milk near by, so if any of it gets on you, just soak that area with milk.

    etch is white and is used to chemically etch glass. it eats into the glass and then when the etch is removed, a frosted impression remains.

    also, does it work in markers and mops? or is it too thick/ will it eat through the marker?

    it can't eat through plastic, depending on how thin the plastic is. if the plastic is thinner than the OT mops, it can def. eat through it over time or soften up the mop. Kiwi mops are good for it.

    no its nots like GK. etch is acidic, and reacts badly to paint. you can put it in a zig, but always wear gloves if you plan on using it.

    I'm pretty sure you'd have to thin it out before you could put it in a pump marker.

    If you don't have the bath you'd probably be better off putting it in a mop

    if its just a drop, you probably wouldnt feel it but its a warm fuzzy feeling. and most of the time if you get it on you, you dont really find out til its too late. but if you're gonna use a zig its less likely to get on you, but its always good to have milk around just in case. etch is corrosive to skin, it dissolves your calcium, giving your bone no structure.

    and if it gets on your gloves, make sure to take them off and watch your hands thoroughly, or soak it in milk to avoid blisters/dried skin/discoloration

    Works in a zig fine for me. But like he said, if u dont have the bath, ud be better off using it in a mop.

    I prefer an oink mop.

    i dont mess around with etch. i like sandpaper doesnt fuck up your skin. just cut a piece of sandpaper and tape it to the cap of your marker. i like that steeze
