Etching is just stencils, and punk rock easy

[dancinglights]

One of my friends is unashamedly obsessed with some video game and TV/toy brands from our childhood in the 1980s, including giant robots. He's also just started living pretty much on his own and is trying to put together the trappings of a household, which makes for very easy gifting

This is an awesome idea! I'm going to head to the craft store tonight to search for the paste.

i was always under the impression that etching is expensive and time consuming. do you have any tips or suggestions for a first-timer?

Several methods of etching are expensive and time-consuming, including sandblasting, which can give you better coverage over a wide area. For smaller pieces like drinking glasses and jars, the acid paste works well enough. One can normally find a few stencils for sale near the paste, and vinyl lettering stickers work well, too
