Im using Greenstar vinyl. I tried some Oracle and it sucked, kept pulling up while I was blasting. I have some 80? grit black aluminium oxide I picked up from Harbor Freight. Running about 50psi

The blasting cabinet comes with the gun, does it do good on small items like glassware?  I have found myself doing a lot of etching and now considering getting a cabinet from TSC or Harbor Freight.

What you see above was all done in the TSC cabinet. I went with their's because of the light. Rest of the stuff between the two really didnt matter to me.
