INTRODUCTION TO ETCHED IMAGES

Wine has been called liquid art; at Etched Images, our goal is to create works of glass art that reflect thequality and uniqueness of the bottles contents. Our artisans carefully deep etch and hand paint yourbottles with your logo, label or message, to create a lasting impression of excellence.

Established in 1989, Etched Images has earned a reputation for high quality design, workmanship andservice. In 1993, Etched Images introduced our innovative dipping wax, NoChip Dip. Another earlyinnovation, developed by David Lincoln, was a process for blackening bottles. A blackened bottlesimulates a full bottle of red wine, making it a cost-effective marketing tool.

Staffed by skilled technicians and artists, Etched Images has in-house capability for original, computer-

enhanced design, with coloring and waxing techniques seldom found in standard etching organizations.We are truly proud of our relatively small but handpicked staff and our great reputation!

WAX DIPPING TECHNIQUES


9/13


NOCHIP DIPWAXING INSTRUCTIONSApplying NoChip Dip:When using NoChip Dip, heat the wax to a temperature of 320-400 F. We have found that the temperature

that works best for us is 380 F. The higher the temperature, the thinner the wax becomes, which makes for

easier application. However, if the wax is melted at 400 F or higher, the wax tends to crack morefrequently.

When melting your first batch, you may notice quite a few bubbles on the surface of the wax. This isnormal, due to the high moisture content. To remove bubbles, lightly skim surface with any utensil. Do notstir the wax, as this will create more bubbles. Once the bubbles have dissipated, you may then start to waxyour bottles.

After dipping the bottle in the wax, let the excess wax drip off bottle before turning upright. To set thewax, dip the bottle into cold water immediately.

Removing the Wax:

Applying a thin layer of wax, using a temperature of 380-390 F, not only makes for easier application, butalso for easier removal.

Removing the wax can be done in several ways:

1. Insert corkscrew directly through wax into cork. Pull cork up to break wax seal, remove cork andpour wine.

2. Slice wax starting from bottom of wax seal on side of bottle. Run knife up wax and slice. Remove waxby peeling wax away from bottle, and then popping top portion of wax from cork.

3. Apply tear tape around neck of bottle prior to waxing, leaving a small pull-tab to use forunraveling the tape, to remove the wax. You can purchase tear tape by the roll. You may apply thetear tape manually, or by using our tear-tape applicator, which you can rent on a per day basis.Contact our office for further information.

What Should I Use to Melt the Wax?Any container, with an adjustable thermostat, that canmaintain a consistent temperature for two or morehours. It takes approximately two hours to melt yourfirst batch.

In our shop, we use a six-quart Presto deep fryer, withan adjustable thermostat. We sell this deep fryer for

$39.95 or you may purchase any deep fryer that has athermostat, from Wal-Mart, Target, etc.

How Much Wax Do I Need?750ml 1.5L Bottles: Dipped 1-2, one pound of waxwill dip approximately 40-50 bottles.

3.L 6.0L Bottles: Figure approximately 25-30 bottlesper pound.
