With that in mind, perhaps a Paasche Air Eraser would do the trick. It's basically an airbrush that has morphed into a small sand blaster. I'll bet it would do the job quite nicely. Perhaps not an optimal method if the OP doesn't already have access to an air compressor and also wouldn't have any other uses for the gizmo but, with the tool in hand, other uses may present themselves.
Reminds me, I have a PBH2000 pencil blaster cabinet...

Complete with "pencil", regulator, hoses, and fitted for shop vac dust collection. (And around 25# of very fine grit.)
I bought it around 6 years ago to do Girl Scout awards... etched glass mugs and plaques.
Our last granddaughter of that age just entered college, so no more Girl Scouts ;-)
Someone want it? Make me an offer.
Probably best for someone in Arizona or Southern California. It wouldn't be trivial to ship. It was originally shipped to me via truck. ...Jim Thompson

Maybe something in the packaging outgassed; have you considered a degreaser or detergent in your ultrasonic cleaner, it might NOT be metal oxide at all. Metal oxide doesn't repel flux, in my experience.
You can get a fiberglass abrading pencil, its like a propelling pencil but instead of lead it rolls out a bundle of fiberglass strands. They're generally used for copper tracks that got oxidised and won't solder - they'll take the solder resist off commercial PCBs with a bit of elbow grease.

I don't want it, but I'm curious... what do you use for templates when making awards on glass? I mean, I can't imagine it looks good if you just try it freehand, does it?
