EtchMaster®
has rectangular etching blanks in crystal clear, jade and
black glass with up to three different types of edge profiles. We offer
these etching blanks in thicknesses of 1/4" up to 3/4". Dimensions
range from as small as 2"W x 3"L to as large as 10"W x
12"L.
Important note:
The edge profile used for the upright portion of the piece
is usually the "Flat edge polish" because that profile means
that the piece fits flat down onto the base. The Edge #3 and Edge #4 profile
are generally used as bases for the uprights, and they give a unique and
elegant look to the finished piece. However, the flat edge polished pieces
can also be used for bases. They are a little less expensive but are also
a little more plain.
How to select glass
for a base:
After selecting the size and thickness of glass for the
upright piece for your award, select the base. The thickness of the base
should be equal to the thickness of the upright piece or one size less
. The length of the base should be 1" longer than the upright piece
is wide. The width of the base is normally from 2" to 3" wide.
The taller the piece, the wider the base should be to help maintain stability.
So, what can you
make with our glass blanks?
These glass blanks are primarily used to create awards
and corporate gifts, using photo resist for the etching mask. However,
they are so striking and beautiful, there is a great opportunity to use
them in creating gifts, commemorative pieces and even glass art and sculpture.
