How to remove paint/etching from glasses.
-
KMS Woodworks on Oct 07, 2013Most glass etching is either done by a version of "sand blasting" or by chemical means ( Hydroflouroic acid). Neither one is easily removed...as the smooth portion of the glass have been eroded away. In theory they could be polished but glass polishing equipment is pretty specialized. I would look into getting some new glasses, sometime thrift stores have "odd lots".Helpful Reply

Patricia Brining on Oct 08, 2013You can find a similar pitcher and use the stencil to make a matching set! Even glass coasters or mirror to set it on can be etched!Helpful Reply
