QuestionI have a heavy glass piece that was an etched award that was not needed. Is there any way I can etch over the old etching, or cover it with etching cream and start over?Holly PacierCommunity AnswerProbably not, unless you wanted to completely resurface the face. You can try doing this with epoxy resin, though the result will probably not be crystal clear, and will not etch like glass. You can cover it in etching cream to obliterate the writing, and then use epoxy or paint to put a new design on it, if you wish.
