Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream - Create Stunning Designs on Glass Surfaces - Etching Cream for Glass by Armour Products - 2.8 oz Net Weight

Worked great! Easy to use.

This worked really well and is easy to use. I'm quite pleased with how my wine glass turned out!

Excellent product! The instructions were easy to follow, and the cream produced beautiful, consistent results on glass. Perfect for anyone who enjoys crafting or creating personalized items.

I was hesitant to purchase this with the mixed reviews and product description not recommending it for "cleaning glasses". However, I believe I understood the reason behind the "failed" attempts to repair eyewear and then made an attempt on my own pairs (all high index polycarbonate lenses). First and foremost, one must understand that this product does not remove "scratches" from lenses. Rather, it removes the coating (anti-reflective) that has started to flake/peel off thus giving a "cloudy" appearance. Second, DO NOT USE ON GLASS LENSES. This product is intentionally used to etch glass. Therefore, you must be sure your eyewear lenses are plastic (polycarbonate) and not glass. Otherwise, you will ruin your pair of eyewear. I had three old pairs of eyewear that were stuffed in drawers because the coating on the inner surface was starting to peel and make it nearly impossible to see/read. I first tested a small area on one pair to see if this product was capable of removing the coating. To my delight, it worked great with a single 30 minute application to the inner side of the lens. Since it worked so well on the first pair, I tried on my other two pair of eyewear and had mixed results. One of the other pairs worked as the first pair, but the third pair required multiple applications (five) to fully remove the coating. However, it was capable of removing all of the coating and is a great improvement from its former condition. One additional point that must be made is that you just removed the AR coating so will now get "artifacts" while wearing your reconditioned lenses. The reflection from other light sources are increasingly noticeable now and you might notice more any deep scratches. This product does not buff out scratches so don't expect it. Overall, I am glad I purchased this product and used it to recondition my lenses. I now have 3 pairs of eyewears that are usable and great backup pairs in case I lose or break my current pair.

Follow instructions carefully! Not for kids use without adult supervision!!!!!! Etches very well and with clear, sharp lines. Be aware of any splatters when applied. One got by me, but I etched a small angel over it with excellent results...splatter mark gone!

I’ve used this multiple times, and it works really, really well! I let it set a little longer than the instructions, but it actually looked better! Would order again if needed

This is very easy to use. The first time I tried I followed the instructions from a random person on YouTube. Constantly brushing the cream around for 3 minutes did nothing. I tried again just putting a thick layer of cream on and left it on for 8 minutes. I put it on a glass from the dollar tree that had a textured inside. I like how it turned out. The pictures are one with flash and one without

Note: See pictures for before and after results. Obviously, it's quite difficult to capture the scratches in all their glory through a picture, but I tried my best by placing the lenses in front of a lamp light. It is completely beyond me why optometrists continue to peddle this Anti-Reflective coating for glasses. No matter how careful you are with your glasses, overtime the AR begins to scratch the lenses to the point where they are almost useless. For my last pair, I did not use the cleaning solution that is supposedly made for glasses with AR. The AR became so scratched, I ended up having to buy another pair. But I had no problems with that, cause I just figured it was my own stupid mistake. Bought another pair for over $500 and the SAME EXACT THING occurred within a year...this time, I was extremely diligent and cleaned my glasses with the recommended cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. My glasses ended up with hundreds (if not thousands) of tiny scratches, to the point where it was like looking through a foggy haze all day long. I used this armor etch (based on other reviews) cause there was no way I was gonna drop another $500 for a new pair. The solution comes out of the bottle looking like the consistency of Elmer's white glue. I just use a cotton swab and smeared it on my lenses and let it sit for about 15 minutes...then rinsed with hot water. I used only one application for each lens (so I did this 4 times - one application for each lens on both sides). In all honesty, you probably only need to do this on the INSIDE of the lens, cause the AR coating is only applied on ONE SIDE according to my optometrist. Definitely do NOT use this if your lenses are made of glass. This shouldn't be a problem because I'm pretty sure that almost all eye glasses these days are made of polycarbonate. Also, make sure you wear some heavy duty cleaning gloves when applying, as this stuff will essentially burn a hole right through your hand. Also, the 2.8 oz is more than enough for one pair. I have enough left over to last me for an entire lifetime (however, I won't ever be paying for AR coating again, so I guess it really doesn't matter). Picture 1: no etching added to either lens Picture 2: after etching application to right lens ONLY Picture 3: right lens BEFORE application Picture 4: right lens AFTER application UPDATE AND CLARIFICATIONS: 1) I just want to clarify that this product will NOT remove actual legit scratches on your lenses. It will only remove the AR coating. If your glasses have actual scratches, this product will do absolutely nothing for them. After applying, if you still see scratches, it does not mean it didn't work - it just means your glasses have legit scratches on the surface of the lenses. 2) Sulfuric (and hydrofluoric acid) do not, in any way, shape or form react with plastic - like, at all - this is per science...indeed, a helpful tipoff to this fact is that it comes packaged in a plastic bottle. If you use this product, and your glasses come out worse than they started, it simply means your glasses were NOT made of 100% polycarbonate plastic. 3) If you have Trivex lenses (apparently, a very common alternative to polycarbonate), I would NOT use this product, as I have no idea how sulfuric acid reacts with that material. If you cannot guarantee that your glasses are 100% polycarbonate plastic, do not use this product.

Works great! I’ll buy again

In anticipation of using it

Works amazingly! You only need to put it on the glass for a very short period of time and it felt like it was not long enough to do anything but it worked so well.

Good product

Works great
