We are using a tint solution purchased from a recognized tint dealer. It is a detergent solution that is mixed with distilled water in this case. 1/32 ratio If you don't have access to it, Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo will work. Just a few drops in a spray bottle with water. A good rule of thumb is: If it slips too much you are using too much & if it sticks too much you are not using enough.

We have a local supplier called Manus Abrasives. The helmet is part of a fresh air feed system that uses a small compressor with filter to draw clean air. The one I am wearing is an older model from Camco. www.manusabrasive.com/safetyequipment

@John Wilson - Thanks! We have shipped our work all over Canada & U.S. It really depends on the nature & scale of the project.

@John S.Wilson - That may be a little aggressive but may work as long as you don't blast with too much pressure, or you will risk damaging your resist mask. You will get a more textured feel with that grit. I personally prefer somewhere between 80-100 grit. Practice on a piece first. Good luck!

@@MPDGlassVinylGraphicsWinnipeg thank you very much for your response and sorry for my intrusion on your business video. Best wishes and good sales

@@roberts.wilson1848 no apology necessary, this is the community we are a part of & we love talking about it.

@Kris Karkota this was not sandblasted on mirror. It was 10mm tempered glass.

- The most common resist we use is a 4mil vinyl product. There are many products available depending on what you're doing , how you're doing it, what you're blasting with & where in the world you are situated in. One of the products we use is called Anchor. We do not sell them though.

@Frank Grammatico , There are many places that sell it these days. I have multiple suppliers for different needs. Depending where in the world you are. Some larger companies that sell these products are companies like Grimco & Armour Products.

@@MPDGlassVinylGraphicsWinnipeg Thank you.

@Toxx Terceno , I wasn't sure if you are asking because you are considering it or simply curious what we use but when we started blasting we were using a 5 horse compressor w/ 60 gallon tank. It was sufficient but always running. We now have a much larger setup with a computerized control & a huge tank for our company. Depending on what scale your planning on doing would really determine the right equipment. I don't think there is a one size fits all answer. Most people start with a blasting cabinet for smaller jobs. Even the consideration of whether this is in a garage compared to you have sufficient power for a larger motor. There are alot of companies out there that can help set you up for what your needs are.

Thank you for your reply, i was in glass etching business for more than 20 years , a small scale etching business in my backyard, usually frosting or erasing clear glass, and also some 3D and sometimes dimensional etching. My air compressor was worn out due to old age, and i decided to buy a 5hp screw type with small air tank which is new to my knowledge. My old air compressor is 7.5hp belt type with large tank but not sufficient enough to give air. Im hoping the new 5hp will do its job considering its brand new, and i havent tested it yet and i want to use my old compressor's air tank to store more air. All my designing and cutting processes are all manually made, and use a cameo plotter cutter for small detailed designs. Again thanks for giving me an idea, i really appreciate it, more power to you and your company

Thanks, much appreciated!

We use aluminum oxide to sandblast. We buy it at 80 grit but when doing any detail, I like to really mix it with used media for a slightly softer feel. I find when its around the 100 grit mark, I get the best "look". Depending on the piece we are working on, we can really vary the pressure. When we are getting full coverage on a piece we might be blasting anywhere from 30psi - 50psi. When going deeper into the glass the range might be 50- 80psi for carving. When shading fine detail, sometimes we can pull the pressure right down from 5-20 psi.

@@MPDGlassVinylGraphicsWinnipeg thank you.

​@@slingshotbuddy I prefer aluminum oxide due to the durability & once it starts breaking down a bit, I get great consistency. I haven't blasted with crushed glass , so can't really comment on that. I know its been used for stripping materials, not sure how my resist would hold up. Let me know how that works for you, I'd be curious to know.

Thanks! We did actually use transfer tape. It's just, that part didn't make it in to the video. We used a Low Tac premask. You can see the roll at the end of the table at around the 1:28 mark. The resist we used to cut the mask are 54" rolls . We still had to tile it in 2 parts due to the size on the glass. It was around 65" in both directions.
