Pattern bars & dip n etch

Hello everyone: I made my first pattern bar today - I've cut a few slices and was wondering if I could use dip n etch to give them a more matte finish and then incorporate into my piece and fire to full fuse? I've only used the dip n etch on my finished beads and have no idea how it will react to be...
