Glassblowing ExpertThere are two straightforward methods for frosting a glass jar. First, you can opt for sandblasting. Acquire a small air eraser or sandblaster from a local hardware or tool store, connect it to a compressor, and propel sand onto the glass surface. This process effectively etches the glass. If you prefer a specific design rather than an overall etching, use masking tape to create the desired pattern. Cut the tape accordingly, cover the glass, and then spray the exposed areas. Alternatively, you can employ a liquid-based solution, available at stained glass stores. Apply this solution to the glass, allowing for customization of the frosted effect. Whether you choose to frost the entire surface or create specific designs, such as letters, this method offers flexibility for achieving your desired outcome. -

QuestionThere is frosted paint on the patio door but the dog is scratching it, wanting to go out. Will the paint hold up or be ruined?Community AnswerDo it yourself spray to create frosted glass (a coating) is rare. Unless you spray applied it yourself, or know for a fact that someone else did, I suspect that it is manufactured frosted glass, which means a portion of the actual glass has been removed. As stated in the article, the frost spray can be removed with a razor blade, which means that the bond to the glass is not equal to the strength of solid glass, therefore I believe dog scratches could damage the coating.
