Blasting is MUCH better look, Paste is an acid.

Nice Job!!!!!

I have been wanting to try sandblasting, but have not taken the leap yet.

Some questions:

Are you using a presuure pot sandblast unit or a Blast cabinet?

What grit are you using?

What Air pressures?

Thank You.

those are cool!!!

where can i find out how to do it?

[BossThinksImWorking 4]

I'd love to know how to do these, too. I could sell Alabama/Auburn mugs like hot cakes! Heck, I'd even like a few for myself.

You need a sandblaster and some sandblast resist to cut your stencils out of.

I really like those mugs... minus "the packers"

I cannot wait to learn how to make those.

I have been using some scrap vinyl that I have laying around for the ones that I have done. Seems to be doing ok so far.

I have heard of people using regular vinyl as well. Probably could get a more detailed cut using regular vinyl.

I hadnt thought about that ken. I did a 8" mirror this morning to take down to a florist that I know. Didnt even think to get a picture of it first though. But it did have some small fine lines in it, and it came out looking pretty good. One thing that I have noticed though, is that you need to use a thicker vinyl, for lack of a better word, or it will have a few small pits in it from the blast that are not too noticeable.

For sandblasting a surface etch on glass, you can get by with using most any vinyl.  The secret there is not to linger in one spot too long and let heat build up on the surface of the vinyl.  Much better to make a couple extra passes than to spend too much time in one spot.  For deep or stage carving, obviously you're better off using a thicker vinyl or rubber resist.

I used my PCut to cut some really thick rubber resist a few days ago, and was very pleased with the results.  Still beating myself up for waiting so long to buy a cutter!  The thing has saved me MANY hours in my sandblasting.

As for grit size...... the finer grit gives a nicer result in my opinion.  For glassware and giftware, I prefer a 180 grit silicon carbide.
