Mickey, This one may go straight from the etcher to the customer, with no opportunity to photograph. If I get a chance to take a fews pics, I certainly will. I asked about the shelf life of resist, based on my own, short-lived experience with glass etching. I bought a pack of (Photobrasives) self-adhesive masking material and worked past the initial learning curve. Since etching wasn't an established part of my business, jobs were few and far between. About 6 months into my new venture, I received a request to etch a number of wine glasses. I couldn't get the resist to wash out properly and all the King's horses, etc. couldn't make it work. That's when I learned about shelf life. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,
That is exactly the way I learn things. Somehow, I don't think to ask questions until I have already gotten the answer. Then I can come up with some good questions. Cart before the horse kind of deal. Hey, you might fit right in here in Arkansas. (devil) It has taken me a lot of foul-ups but now I am starting to ask a few questions BEFORE I get into trouble. :-$
