Broken panel was carefully reassembled like a jigsaw puzzle and
each piece was numbered. Then the pieces were shipped from Hawaii
to DGP. The broken panel is on the left and the new panel is on
the right, in the process of having the acid applied.

Decorative Glass
Processes owner, Patrick Mackle, began working with
glass products back in the early 1970's. He started by doing
restaurant glass. Then he added signage to his product line,
followed by many other products.
Over the years, Pat has developed and fine-tuned a variety
of etching techniques that have produced top-of-the-line products,
including the antique method of acid etching.
Pat has used acid etching for a variety of products and processes,
including for restoration purposes. See the page on the famous
Iolani Palace in Hawaii that
contracted with Pat to restore the glass (originally created
in England and San Francisco around 1880) in two glass paneled
entry doors that were severely damaged by vandalism.
We are in the process of working on this page and will be
providing more information regarding acid etching soon.
Decorative Glass Processes offers a wide variety of custom
and production etched items. Call us or fax us for a quote.
