yoooo that is such a good idea using the painters tape! thank you
Hello nonya bidness, Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you found value in this video for your viewing time.
Best of luck with your projects!
Wow. Excellent results.
Hello Abhitchc, thank you for commenting. It's spectacular all the things that can be done with water pressure and abrasive media. Cleaning, etching, polishing, and deburring.
Cheers!
I sand blasted very detailed pictures so you can. You should try it
Thank you for the suggestion, Connie, I'll have to give that a try.
@@vbared If I could put up the picture of one of my pieces I would. I did pictures of candy one of the pictures is a candy cane. I have to say I was amazed my self at this particular blast I did because the stripe on one candy cane was so thin I thought it is going to get blown off but when I took the piece out and I removed that hair thin piece I was gob smacked. I would like to do a real rabbit just grazing on the side of a salad bowl just to see how it looks.
@@vbared I love what you done on the bottle. My first piece was a wine bottle everyone drank at Christmas dinner. I put everyone's name on it that was there. Not complicated but it was scary cause everyone was watching me do my very first piece to see how well it came out.
Your video's are awesome, thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Hello Kyle, Thank you for commenting and your kind words. I'm glad you found some value in them.
Best of luck with your projects!
Very good video. I am thinking about buying a new compressor mainly to sand or vapor blast glasses made from beer / wine bottles. What PSI, CFM, HP compressor should be bought which will do the job effortlessly? Thank you
Hello GYM BODY MUSCLES, Thank you for commenting. I used the video linked below as a guide for selecting my air compressor. The one I selected was the Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon with the SS5 pump. It's perfect for continues blasting at 50 psi. To remove powder coatings with a vapor blast system you will need to blast using garnet at around 90 psi. This will deplete the air much faster and require an Ingersoll Rand compressor with the SS5 pump to run non stop so you will need to take more breaks to let it recover and cool down. A compressor that can deliver more working CFM with an 80 gallon tank would be better for blasting at 90 psi for long periods of time. Should your plan be to etch glass then the Ingersoll Rand with the SS5 pump is perfect because your going to be blasting garnet between 30 to 50 psi.

@@vbared Thank you for the reply. Is sand a good media to etch glass?
@@GymBodyMuscles Good morning, I haven't tried using sand to etch glass but would guess that it should also work. Garnet etches glass for sure and using less pressure, 80 grit is perfect.
@@vbared I didn't think you could use garnet. I use aluminum oxide. I have never seen vapor blasting done. I would like to see it. Can you recycle the material through?
@@Wyrmwood66 Hi Connie, yes, it can be recycled. Garnet, aluminum oxide and standard sand have sharp enough edges to frost glass. Glass beads lack the sharp edges and have more of a hammering effect rather than chiseling so the are great for polishing soft metals. I haven't spent much time creating separator for my vacuum system to keep media from winding up in the filter but that's what is needed to recapture capture any of it that gets out.
A great tutorial, aside from stealing the artwork.
Thank you for commenting, and the heads up. I'll have to keep that in mind for future videos. Looks like it's my lucky year as Peter Pan's copywrite expired on Jan 1, 2024.
Best of luck with your crafts :)
you can just attach the images for them to be just one image
Hello Herman, Thank you for commenting. Are you meaning touching the different images together like Peter Pan's hand touching Wendy and maybe a star point touching one of his feet so you are just dealing with one large connected shape?
@@vbared selecting all images you want and then select the "attach" option
