    Someone on this thread mentioned hydrofluoric acid's use as a glass
    etchant: 

    If you're looking for a safe alternative, try Dip n' Etch solution,
    which is sold through many bead and lampwork suppliers (i.e.,
    beadcats.com). It's reusable and relatively safe (don't drink it), it
    smells like burning caramel, and it works beautifully. I use it to
    create matte finishes on seed beads. 

    [usual disclaimers] 

    happy etching,
