Very good information, I've used anything from contact paper to the photoresist.

SHop around and you can find better price than listed but still a good site.

so contact paper works

i ordered some sandblast rubber resist back in 2006 but lost the companys name i know it was a 3m product but since i am not willing to buyin bulk i have to find a supplier  that i can buy small amount but preffer some one locally i might have found a company by the name of grainger which is abou 2 miles down the road

3M makes the thick resist called Buttercut.

Venture is another one that is 4mil.

Look for stained glass shops most of them carry

one brand or another.

Yes contact paper will work just don't stay in one spot to long

and turn down pressure.

Contact paper is also more difficult to remove from the glass at times.  Tends to leave adhesive residue behind if you leave it on the glass very long after blasting.  Also difficult to carve very deep with contact paper.  Much better off to use paint mask for surface etching and something like the buttercut for deep carving.
