How to make Transparent PCB traces on glass

++++++

Sir,
I would like to make a PCB like piece on glass in such a way that the tracks are not visible ie are invisible. A few electronic SMD components may be mounted and soldered with additional solder or wire. Is there any way to do so? This is for domestic use.

I understand tin chloride dissolved in water is a suitable material to do so. what precautions I should take in handling Tin Chloride?

Is such solution/paste readily available ?

Thanking you

I remain,
Faithfully
yours,

This does sound like an intriguing idea, and one which I haven't heard of before. Certainly tin chloride or ITO can't carry the tiniest fraction of the current that a copper trace carries, but I would imagine that there are some signals it can carry.
