Thanks again for your help. I was looking at systems costing upwards to $4k…….we are just a small business and this is a HUGE help.

I will get some links together and send you them by email.

It would depend if you want the design to be stained or not. You can blast before or after depending if the design should be stained as well.

Have you thought about using pyrography by burning the design into the wood? I think that would look cool, while being the easiest and cheapest. You can probably have a local sign shop laser cut a stencil template out of a piece of sheet metal and use a propane torch. Just an idea but not sure if that would work.

Its similar to the regular pressure pot valve except smaller with more suitable valves.

Honestly, you might want to just buy a new soda blaster so that you can keep the abrasive in the tanks separate. Harbor Freight has these for about the same price as the cost for a conversion kit.

First, one exposure isn’t going to kill you. But if you are inhaling it all day and through time it can cause some health issues.

The severity also depends on what type of abrasive they were using and how dusty the air was.
Play sand abrasive has a lot silica, while more professional abrasives like aluminum oxide & silicon carbide have little silica, if any at all.

AFTER A CAR HAS BEEN SANDBLASTED HOW LONG SHOULD A PERSON WAIT BEFORE GOING INTO THE BUILDING WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GEAR.
ALSO IF A PERSON GOES INTO THE BUILDING RIGHT AFTER THE SANDBLASTING AND HAS NO PROTECTION SHOULD THAT PERSON GET A CHEST XRAY

I believe you are referring to the photoresist stencil process. Happy new years!

Maybe try a 3:1 ratio with more baking soda than black diamond. I feel like if it was 50/50 that it wouldn’t look much different, but I have no idea.

So feel free to keep us updated. Also, if anyone has tried this, let us know.

Thanks

This is an old post where it had a youtube video provided by someone else making one. I just updated the post (removed their video, and uploaded mine) without realizing the text.

I’ll correct it soon. Thanks. Sorry- that is confusing. I appreciate it

I am from Sri Lanka, could you kindly tel me, where(any shop or closes country) i can purchase sand blast media? and what is the best media for sand blasting of plain glass bottles?

I am a new to this and appreciate your answers.

Thank you

We started stocking PAB guns and the PAB units (models B and D we keep in stock) a year or so ago. We also carry all the supplies for these units. The sandblast pots themselves are pretty well designed and have all the sorts of features you would expect from a sandblast pot including grit regulation water trap, pressure regulator etc. You can get in touch with me at the email address supplied, more information about the company is found at theblastshop.co.uk.

Thanks,

I want to sandblast some pictures onto glass. I have read a lot of tutorials on how to make stencils using Adobe Photoshop but I need to move on to how to print them. What do I print them on? How do I put the stencil on the glass? What PSI do I use? What kind of nozzle do I use and where can I buy one?

I checked their site and SafterKleen no longer has them. Too bad because it was a great piece of work.

thank you

As for light rust, most abrasive will get the job done, but harder abrasive like garnet, aluminum oxide will be quickest.
