Guest Schramm Posted February 24, 2010 Done on blue mirror this panel is 1 of 8 that I am doing for a custom cabinet. Because of the blue glass that this mirror is made with the depth of the ocean scene is crazy deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kenya Posted February 24, 2010 It's beautiful. I love blue mirror. We sell peach, bronze and blue mirror in addition to clear in our glass & mirror business. It's very pricey, but oh so much more beautiful than the usual clear mirror. Very nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Schramm Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah I sell Copper (aka Peach), Bronze, Grey (I go through a TON of that!!!), Gold, Grey brown, Blue, Purple, Green and Black. Pricey??? I dont think so as so little people have it that anyone looking for it that finds you buys it. I do custom art pieces with it. Right now I am working on my second sun with rays and the first one sold for $2200 and I am making another for my office in blue and purple. The first one was done in bronze and copper for a custom cabinet of which the blue mirror is part of. I think what makes the mirror so special to blast is that insted of it casting a green hue (which isnt that nice) this casts the color that you are blasting. I have done a ton of cabinet mirrors out of Copper (peach) and once blasted the frosted part has this beautiful copper tone to the frosting. Personally I love all the colors and each one has there place for certain applications. As for the sand blaster, what you see is called a on-site blaster which is a vacuum hose with a blast nozzle which runs down the center as you blast it recovers 99% of your media so there is almost no mess. That unit is what I use to do a installed mirror in a bar or a shower door without having to remove it. I also own a HF blast cabinet and just bought a Glastar mini pass through which allows me to blast glass as tall as 24" x 8' which is perfect for my backsplash work. Below is a couple other pics of what this on site blaster can do and also one of my new cabinet so you can understand better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestonservco 26 Posted February 27, 2010 Do you seal the back side of the mirror? Or just leave the vinyl in place? How do you keep the mirroring from peeling off after blasting? That looks awesome by the way!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Schramm Posted March 3, 2010 Do you seal the back side of the mirror? Or just leave the vinyl in place? How do you keep the mirroring from peeling off after blasting? That looks awesome by the way!! I have heard of people leaving the vinyl in place but that is a huge no no... I always pull it off, then seal it with a crystal clear laquer prior to back painting. You cannot properly clean the back with the vinyl still there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
