I thought sandblasting was the way to go.

Go to a hobby store and get one of the glass etching pastes. That is far safer and easier to use than anything you would whip up in a lab.

Here is one version -

I don't understand the question. You need help with mixture? If you are talking about hydrofluoric acid , that's something you buy. Or maybe you are talking about a double salt like NaHF2.
