    Etching glass...yikes...The most effective way I have heard of
etching glass is with HydroFloric acid...But this is not the kind of
thing you can pick up at the local super market.  I had to use it once.
Never again.  The stuff is too scary, at least to me.

    The etch resist would be interesting.  I was told, back in the old
days, parafin was used to create the mask.  But, I think the same photo
resist that works on PC boards will stand up to HF, so, I suppose you
could do it just like you would do a PCB.
