color filling "smoked" glass a white color?

[Garrett Nors]

Is there something out there that allows me to color fill glass to make it more white? We are using some smoked glass plaques (I think from JDS) and the customer liked them, but wondered if there was a way to make the engraving pop a little more.

I was looking at thermark LMC98, is that what I need? There are no examples so I can't tell if it'll turn out good or not.

I only have to do 10 plaques, so I don't need a lot.

edit - here's what the product looks like from JDS:

You may try Run N Buff

How did yours turn out??

A little darker than the example pic. It doesn't look bad at all, but she thinks it's a tad too dark, I guess.


I'll try rub n buff on some scrap glass, we'll see how that goes.

Some will disagree here, but I found coating with liquid dish detergent will help. Otheres have experimented with using a paste car wax.

I agree with Martin, I have better luck engraving glass when it is coated in dish soap.
