Marking your carboy - by Bytor1100

Picture
This shows how I etched gallon/half gallon marks on my carboy using glass acid etch.

This is what you need:
  • Carboy
  • Masking tape 1/2" and 1" (or whatever you want, I already had these)
  • Armor Etch Glass etching (got it from Roberts Craft)
  • Flux brush
  • Scrapbooking letter set. 

Picture
Add a half gallon of water at a time, and mark it with the masking tape. I just centered the 1/2" tape over the water line. Then add your numbers from the stencil set. Then dump out the water.

Picture
Add the etching cream with the flux brush and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Picture
Wash off the acid with tap water and remove the masking tape.
