Write names on glass

Sep 18, 2007 9 Replies

Hi Friends, I would like to know how to writr names on glass, as to do a souvenior, lets say 8 inches x 10 inches, with lets say 40 names. and draw a symbol of a business or school. Thanks for your help!!!!!



Thanks, it is a marker with ink thast could remain fon years so that the classmates names could be remembered many years later???. ....

Well, in addition to the somewhat snarky answers, I seem to recall a metal tipped pen that left a nice deposit on the glass. Was the tip titanium? It's been 19 years since I saw one (at Penland - no pun intended!). Glassblowers used it to sign their work. So, what is it called, and where can I - & the OP - get one?

Thanks, Joe

Back in the good old days (we're talking ancient history here) when I took mechanical drawing in college, a pen called Rapidograph was popular. It had a stainless steel nib, and was something like the pen you describe.

It is NOT permanent on glass. It can easily be rubbed off...with steel wool or even a finger nail or a wet cloth. I think I'd go for sanblasting the names and the logo.

you can find the same thing at A.C.Moore or Michaels (or any ofthe

larger craft type chainstores)....I use one all the time to sign my work...

It is worth the investment...

BTW, it would be kind of neat to have each one sign and with this it would

be very permanent
