can you etch on black glass? and if so if i were to put LEDs on the side of the black glass will the etching pop?

Guesswork here* Correct me if someone knows better. The color of the glass will not effect whether or not you can etch with this product. It will effect the end result. IE, etching on clear glass takes away an outer layer where the etch is and results in a frosted look of whatever shape you etched. So on black glass (assuming the glass is completely black and does not have a film on the outside or something with clear glass on the inside) it would likely just be black and wouldn't stand out much except on closer examination. I'm intrigued, how are the LEDs going to be used with the glass? Is it a glass window and there's LEDs on the inside surface?

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

Condensation builds up between the glass and leds at about 60-70% RH. I don't think it impacts the light intensity that much. Outside of the condensation I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

Well, I've done stained glass, and I don't think this unit would suit. It really meant for work involving electronics, wiring, and other work requiring accurate placement of heat. Of course, your stained glass work may require such capabilities. Its is an excellent unit and I'm quite happy with its performance.

Hi Annabelle! Yes, the 88CM scriber can indeed etch glass. However, the very sharp point creates an impression which is quite fine indeed. And although a single impression is legible enough to be used for inventory identification purposes, you might want to go over your inscription several times to create a prominently readable name on your glass object. I did not try this, but you could probably go over your inscription with a permanent Sharpie (wiping off the excess of course) to make the inscription more prominent and colorful. I hope this helps.

I've only etched on glass but I didn't notice much vibration. I would think it would be ok if u don't press to hard . Didn't take much effort in glass to show writing. A test piece would be a good idea first

Just to let you know. The light pattern really sucks with the black bezel. I retrofitted a pair of HID projecters from the retrofit source.com huge diff.

Backlight bleeding and tint is a luck based thing with these. I currently have the second one here, because the first one had a damaged led row, and this one has a slight tint to the blue - after all, those are the kind of reasons this is only an A Panel, and not A+. But if you get backlight bleeding you can fix it rather easy - just google it and you will find videos on how to do it. But that's only if you're not afraid of opening up the casing (did so myself, and it's really not that dangerous, altough a little work with the cheap plastic encasing)

i can't say definitely yes, but we are going to take them to a jewelry repair shop and try to get them chemically etched. they did an excellent job laser etching a rose gold monte verde pen for our son. i have several sets of cocktail glasses that have been monogrammed with chemical etching. when i get it done, i will post a picture.

You may be stuck because your glass has a green tint to it. This fixture will work best with clear glass.

I would say no. The side of the decal that sticks to the surface isn't the same color as the side that is showing. I just used mine on the wall, so I am not sure how you would do it on glass. I thought perhaps putting one of the same behind on the other side of glass, but then it would be backwards. perhaps you can figure something out. good luck!

I have not had any luck getting it to work on a glass surface. There are other users who have said they had no problems. I think it has to do with the opacity of the glass.

Not easily - you'd probably risk glass damage. However, I wouldn't doubt some manufacturing variation.

These essentially are the strips, just looks a little different. But I strongly suggest you get a professional to do this. I am a pretty handy guy and I screwed mine up badly. It's almost impossible to remove the digitizer from the glass without damaging it. BE CAREFUL if you are going to try.

The plastic (not glass) cylinder is clear. The flicker circuitry is in the LED itself. So if you switch to a white LED it should just be on solid (which may be what you want).

They can be cut every 3 LEDs, in order to do what you want, I did the same thing essentially. I took speaker wire and soldered it to the corresponding places + and -, so yes you are able to do that. Hopefully this helps

Although it would work, I think it could weaken the structural integrity of the glass. Abrasive etching would be a better solution.
