What do I need a sandblaster for?
The sandblaster is an essential piece of equipment that actually allows you to etch a design out of the glass to create a more elegant glass finish than its counterpart process, cream glass etching. A sandblaster is only needed for the abrasive glass etching process. ***A quick note***(abrasive and sandblast glass etching means the same thing and is interchangeable throughout this resource as well as other glass etching sources)***
Also, a sandblaster can be used for many different types of abrasive media other than sand. Sand is not encouraged nor recommended for glass etching and it is very dangerous to your health. The recommended abrasive media is discussed later.
Back to the point, the sandblaster is usually a very expensive piece of equipment and is usually the primary reason that most people tend to lean toward the cheaper “cream glass etching process”.
Since this is the case, I will show you how to get sandblaster etching equipment cheap by using alternative routes. This will allow you to have a low startup cost and achieve the interesting desired look of abrasive etching that shows people who you are, a elegantly skilled glass etcher.
A lot of people think you have to buy a very expensive sandblasting system; when you could actually get it fairly cheap. So, the following will show you how to get the right sandblaster to fit your needs, while getting it at a low cost for a hobby or business.
