Hydrofluoric Acid       A very powerful and corrosive acid which attacks porcelain and fused dichroic glass jewelry. Designs may be etched on a fused dichroic glass vessel by drawing the patterns on the surface, marking those areas to remain intact, then immersing the vessel in a bath of hydrofluoric acid. This attacks the exposed surfaces to a depth depending on the time the vessel is immersed. Etched areas may then be protected and other parts of the glass jewelry vessel exposed to the acid to complete the design. If the vessel is of two or more layers, me etching produces a cameo design. Different fused glass jewelry surface effects may be achieved with the use of hydrofluoric acid in conjunction with other agents. Thus acid mixed with ammonia gives a frosted effect, mixed with sulfuric acid it polishes crystal, and pure acid polishes the surface to a high gloss. GANTAD
