[Jewelry making - Article 01133] - [Orchid] Glass etching outside the US

    I have a customer in Turkey who wants to try etching her glass
    beads. She tried to order a bottle of etch bath from me, but I'm
    unable to ship it to her. It's a hazardous material that I am
    prohibited from shipping out of the country. The etch bath I sell is
    made by Armour Products and contains Ammonium Biflouride and
    sulfuric acid.  It gives a very light etch to glass surfaces. I'm
    assuming it's fairly weak as acids go, since they sell the stuff at
    craft stores. 

    What I'm looking for now is an alternative for her. What can she use
    to etch her glass beads that she might be able to find in Turkey? 
    And where would she find it? 

Any help is appreciated!  thank you!
