Etching PC Case Door Windows.

JackRabbitSpleaf · 12-September-03, 11:47 PM

Has anyone seen a good thread on etching windows? I have a great design I wanna do.

I want to etch the grey area around the dancing bear.
The dark ovals are plastic clips, and the blue is window.

Thanks for your help..

A sand blasting apparatus (a cheap one at a hard ware store can be found for around $9.00. or rent one).

Is nine dollars accurate?

Thats what I picked mine up for. And I have done prolly 20 windows with it so far.

well you could use a dremel with an abrasive bit and kind scuff the area you want.

Or by etching cream witch is a mild acid that chemically etches the plastic.
