You don't need to encase as long as you make sure it's applied to hot glass and is well secured. I make a little indent with the end of my tungsten pick and then set it in there. That gives it the security of glass around it, not just under it. But I've quite often not encased and not had it fall out...unfortunately I have not etched them so I can't help with that, but I'd do what Kaye said, just to be safe...
