I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

Yeah when I said etch I should've just said scratch i suppose. I wasn't recommending you pull out the Dremel and copy it one to one. Just small cosmetic scratches. Or you can look around at antique shops, I find stuff like that all the time for cheap.

    Acid etching is a thing, too. Not likely to shatter the whole thing using acid.

    As right as you are about acid etching, you still don't wanna fuck with glass that's designed to handle torch temperatures..

    Edit: Also, don't they literally use pyrex in chemistry labs to handle acids? What acid even eats proper borosilicate pyrex glass?
