what psi was that doing that

[thederrick1966]

@thederrick1966 and was that reg sand

[etchrobert]

@thederrick1966 I use aluminum oxide. I believe the psi was 30-40 but you have to make sure you have the right size nozzle tip for the cfm rating of your compressor.

At $400 I am very interested in the exact equipment you are using in this video? I have my own compressor and can make my own cabinet. I am wondering what you used for the stencil as well as what you used for the sandblast itself?

Instead of a butterfly, maybe a grinning skull or something! Now, that's a more realistic anniversary gift. Just sayin'. ;) Seriously though, cool vid. Thanks.

i do not have a lot of success with etching cream always comes out like pale in parts i tried like 10 times and never get it right..i am seriously thinking to get that abrassive spray ...it may work better the only thing is that it costs like 50 usd or more

thank You for posting ...this is super helpful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what kind of transfer paper are you using..?

[nixonwasframed]

Maybe you should not flush glass etching chemicals back into the sewer?

[stihlcarven]

@nixonwasframed I dump used motor oil into the sewer....doesn't seem to hurt the sewer at all....it all just keeps on flowing.

[whatdeznuts]

how much was the sandblast equipment

[etchrobert]

@whatdeznuts Hey, I only spent about $400 on the cutter and sandblaster, but I already had my own air compressor and air hoses. I made my own sandblasting cabinet too but its hard to film in their.
