to the OP, How much of the original bottle did you use for the 2 carboys? How much left over? Oh and what size bottle did you buy. Don't wanna buy the 18 dollar one if the small size was plenty!
The small bottle is plenty. I did this a few months ago, and you could do several with one little bottle.

The small size is plenty. I got the big one because I have 5 carboys I'll be doing and wasn't sure if it was enough.
So I did my big carboy last night. Should have referenced your post before hand. The directions said to leave on for 5 minutes (actually left it on about 7) then wash off. This is what I did. I did get a usable etch since it's just for a quick reference but there isn't a lot of contrast. if I do my other I'll leave on for 15 minutes probably.

that is a verry good idea, i have been glass etching off and on for 20+ years and never thought of that. but i did think of these.
these are ones i did a couple of months ago
this is a 1 gallon jug i did for wine making
I was wondering what you use to do this, tape or vinyl. I etched my logo on a pint glass the other using tape, but it took a long time to cut out the design. I would like to find something I could use again.

I can't remeber exactly how long I left mine on. It probably was around 15 min. I kept brushing the acid around also.
if everyone wants to do a bunch of the same etching's etch world sells this it is a reusable stencil. it is made for there small sand blasting kit i dont know if it will work for liquid etching.
or if anyone realy liks etching and wants to start a small business etching this CO. sells a make your own stencil kit. you can also get one that etches metal.
