OT: Screens for Sand Blasting / Frosting Glass

There is some photo imagable stuff on the market. Google on "etching" as well. Eg.

I don't know if vinyl would stand up to 60 runs, but you might try a "computerized vinyl sign" shop.

Jim, why not find your local sign maker and see if they can cut out some vinyl shapes for you?

Several people have suggested that. I'll check it out. My wife comes up with this sort of customized-frosted-glass project often enough, maybe I should invest in my own cutter, particularly now that I'm officially a registered Girl Scout, I'm the cookie "mom" this year :-)

Don't take any cookie recipes from Rich! ;)

I believe resilient rubber matting is suitable for stencil matl - I've seen it used on 'memorial' sandblasting - but I'm not sure you could expect 60 applications from the same stencil.

Etching would probably produce a better-definitioned result, on glass.

May I ask what this is supposed to mean?

Thanks, Rich

Its a joke, son! I say, a Joke!

Actually I just wanted to see if you would notice. :)

No I think you meant "Brownie" recipies from Rich. %-)

word of warning... I'd a work related blasting process some years ago and noted some interesting stuff from the hazard/safety reports. There are a number of grits used in the blasting processes, all have a generic dust hazard but common builders sand should be avoided.

The dust, when lodged in the lung, is particularly carsonegenic. I remember there are quite a number of resources online that will point you in the right direction.

I hope this helps.

Rich makes brownies?

If you're worried about drugs, there isn't anything in the recipes that's not recognizable as such!

Actually, you just use any recipe and substitute some of the chopped nuts with some pot.

Cheers! Rich
