So you don't want to dunk everything into a vat of Vari-Etch Liquid? Okay, we listened, we heard, we responded... Introducing Vari-Etch Cream. A cream based weak acid for etching your vertical surfaces or for a more fine tuned control of your etched surfaces. Can be brushed on, silk screened or otherwise applied. Three to five minutes yields a nicely etched surface. Please be aware that liquids cannot be shipped through the Postal Service. You must choose either UPS or FedEx for Vari-Etch shipments. Prefer to dip your pieces. Then try Vari-Etch Frosting Powder.
