Abstract

This invention pertains to a method and a composition for selectively etching an image on a glass surface to produce decorative frosting effects. More particularly, the method pertains to: depositing on the surface the negative of the image to be etched, a pattern of a crosslinkable resin capable, upon crosslinking, of resisting a subsequently applied etchant and also capable, upon crosslinking, of being removed from said surface by stripping with hot water or steam treatment; crosslinking said resin; applying an etchant to said surface; and removing said crosslinked resin. More particularly, the composition pertains to the combination of an acrylate oligomer, an acrylate monomer capable of crosslinking with said acrylate oligomer, and a crosslinking agent.
