with etchall creme
I’ve always wanted a kitchen conversion chart, so I decided to turn a cutting board into one. The smooth back of the Dollar Tree cutting board seemed perfect for etching with etchall creme. However, I struggled a bit with cutting out the measurements in vinyl, so I opted to apply them directly with vinyl instead.

Before any etching or vinyl project, I clean non-porous surfaces with rubbing alcohol.
I cut the vinyl on a Cricut Maker and mirrored the image since I was working on the back of the glass cutting board.
I created the graphic as a one-and-done but since I was having trouble with weeding the measurements, I recut the image and separated them to be placed in vinyl after etching the title and shapes.

I generously covered the vinyl in etchall creme. Working on a flat surface was nice, and reminded me of icing a cake. You can be generous with etchall because it is reusable.
After 15 minutes, it is time to remove the creme and place it back into the bottle. Then you want to wash the surface. Since I don’t have a sink in my studio, I use a baby wipe to remove all the excess creme and then the vinyl.
The etching came out nice. I knew I still needed to add the measurements in vinyl so I wanted to enhance the etching.
I chose a dark buffing wax to color the etched areas. The thin lines in the shapes turned out well so the measurements would have too if I wasn’t having trouble weeding them.
