How to frost clear light bulbs

The EU, our big paradise,

has abolished incandescent lamps with frosted bulbs in 2009. For me this is an unacceptable loss of beauty, peace and friendliness in our world. For some purposes I do not at all want to abstain from this beautiful light. Therefore I was searching for a method to frost clear bulbs. It is very easy: Except by sandblasting it can be done by applying Amour Etch Cream, which I found on eBay.de with worldwide search.
The package came from the US and cost in about 12€ including postage to Austria.

Just grind the bulb a little with sandpaper (P600) to hurt the surface only a little. This makes the etching much more efficient and faster. Apply 2 or 3 times the etching cream with a paint brush. 3oz will last for around 20 bulbs.
