Glass Etching -- safety

---------

Our district's environmental safety specialist just notified me that several of the art teachers in our district are using the product "Amour Etch" for glass etching projects with the students. This material contains "hydroflouric acid, which is corrosive to skin and irritating if inhaled." All of us are to remove the product imediately.

As the elementary art coordinator, I want to offer teachers an alternative safe resource for glass etching (if there is one.)

Do you have any suggestions for us?
