[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 402354, member: 70"]This example, however, is wheel (gray) cut. If the surface is then polished it's not called gray. In plate etching, the design is applied with a stencil of wax resist, the acid attacks the glass where there is no resist. In Needle Etching, the piece is covered with resist, and the design is applied by a needle, driven by a mechanical device. The acid then attacks the glass where the needle removed the resist.[/QUOTE]
