Sounds like someone's trying to get you to buy something else. Now, an acid maybe...

No joke. Man, bleach won't etch glass. It will, however, make your vinyl tubing cloudy if you leave it in for a few days, but it doesn't hurt the performance in any way. I leave my glass carboys filled with bleach solution for weeks at a time. They were BS'n ya...:drunk:
 
I have some muriatic acid that I used to etch my concrete floor prior to applying nonskid coating. I wonder what muriatic would do to glass...mwa haw haw! Some of you science geeks might be able to tell me.
