Default Newbie interested in etching

Please recommend an etching solution that is easy and affordable. And, if you have another second or two, what bead release do you use, please?
Also, a huge shout out to "DJ" for her RAOGK glass. I'm in heaven!

Personally I like Fusion bead release. When I want to chemically etch I use Amour Etch Bath. Kind of pricey but it lasts a loooong time. A cheapish tumbler otherwise. I have the one from Harbor Freight and I saw it on sale today.

I use Fusion too. I like it just a bit better than homemade for small beads and it is awesome for huge beads. I air dry instead of flame drying.

Try salt water etching. You can google it and find some really good utube videos about it
