I want to know how to silk screen glass etching cream an even white. Generally I use abf powder with water and acetic acid mixture but mostly it remains some patches like on glass does not look similar white.
Which option i should use for etch a glass smoothly and uniformly white. Perhaps Etching cream will not work on large size projects like 4-5 ft or more.

Thanks for your question Harish. It is very difficult to get the acid etching cream a nice uniform white, especially when you are making such large pieces of work.
Have you thought of sandblasting glass? You can get the resists made from a specialist company, or you could cut them yourself for a more unique look. Sandblasting glass is even and will read as uniformly white. It is also much less dangerous than acid etching cream, although masks are still recommended.
Good luck with your project, it looks interesting.
