Armour Etch Application:

Remove all of the masking tape from the glass and then remove stencil . Rinse glass under running water to remove any remaining residue. Clean with glass cleaner. The etched image will appear when glass is dry thoroughly.

4. Lightly dust off excess grit with a soft bristle brush. and wash off remaining grit residue from glass under running water. Do not wipe grit from glass with sponge or towel as this could scratch the glass.
