Has anyone else had problems with etching Bullseye glass? I've just pulled my beads out of their 3rd 15 minute bath in Dip N Etch and they still are not evenly etched. The transparent one is the worst of the batch, it's just got some fuzzy areas . I'm still new to using the Dip N Etch, but the Moretti beads I've done don't take this long. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carol
Carol,
Bullseye glass does not like to be etched....and will resist all attempts to do so.

Sandblaster is the only thing I have found to work well on Bullseye and Uroboros Glass.

If the beads are round or donut-shaped, try a rock tumbler with medium grit... it will do the trick.
