Disadvantages

• One of the major disadvantages of the process of chemical etching is the fact that the process could only be done on glass and metal. This leads to the options of getting the carving done on wood or plastic closed. It is mainly because the acid used in the process won’t work on plastic and would potentially leak when used on wood.
