etchall® resist gel is a water-based gel that enables you to create your own unique designs without using a stencil. It forms a protective barrier against etchall® etching crème or etchall® dip ‘n etch. This barrier acts as a resist preventing the surface from being etched. etchall® resist gel can be squeezed directly from the fine tip bottle, brushed evenly onto glass, or you can use the etchall designer pen tips. etchall® resist gel appears opaque green when wet, but dries clear. Drying time depends on the thickness of application.
