- Liz Haas of Rayzist PhotoMask sandblast's a paver brick using 4Mil Photomask (SR2000) to compare the resist strength to Rayzist's LaserMask (4Mil). Sandblasted to a moderate depth for a donation brick and paint filled with black Lithchrome paint. Sandcarving produces the designed results with less effort. Learn more at www.Rayzist.com/

Thank you for your comment Jamie.
Protective gloves are not required when blasting with a fine abrasive and low blast pressure. Liz was using a multi-purpose blasting grain 150 grit Aluminum Oxide and blasting pressure under 40 psi. Disposable latex gloves would be recommended and is operator preference.
Very nice video, I really like the way it came out!
How about when blasting granite, what are the settings in a cabinet? Is it the same with a pressure pot?cfm@? Nozzle?
Thanks for watching; this is a very old video.... When determining blasting pressure and media size, it really depends on the "resist" you are using. As a photoresist manufacturer, we have thinner films, as seen in this video, and thicker films, which will withstand coarser abrasives and higher blasting pressure.
Using thinner photoresist film and lower pressure just means the "depth" into stone will require more passes to achieve more blast depth.

Is there a supplier for imprinted film and glue that will work well on large limestone bolder. I have thousands of hours with sandblasting and compressors and never considered this method of working on these 9 ton bolders in my side yard. These bolders have nice flat areas for large images but I will start with simple design until I find the right technique. Thank you for your time and effort in this matter.
Hello Dave, Thanks for reaching out. Rayzist does have the ability to make stenciling for you through our Custom Mask department. We can apply a "heavy" adhesive coverage on 9Mil photoresist film. We can produce a single mask that is up to 42" x 42" before you have to register a second mask.
Email/upload the file (design); four days later, we will send you a premade stencil(s). I suggest we do a spec sample (with heavy adhesive) before we go into production. Beyond having the surface clean, heating the surface will cause the photoresist to draw down onto the surface of the irregular stone. Please check out a few of our videos on the "Learn Sandcarving" playlist.

this was extremely informative, thank you very much!
awh christmas will be cheep this year. eveyones getting a personlized brick.
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
What type of blasting media are you using for this application? Great Video!
No gloves?
Smart indeed
+Mike Connolly Thank you, no gloves, fume hood not turned on
What is the blue tape you are using?
Hello Jacques,
This video was created to show SR3000 4mil photoresist film could be used to sandblast a paver. SR3000 4mil compares to the resist strength of Rayzist's Lazermask sandcarving film.
Can it work on Granite stone? And How long it will take to engrave 1 square meter area?
Yes, of course, you can Sandblast onto the granite and all types of stone media. Etching time is relevant to the 'thickness' of material you are using, blasting media size, blast pressure, and depth you are trying to achieve. This is a difficult question to answer.
Might I suggest you visit our RUclips channel and see more the recent videos, RUclips.com/Sandcarving (perhaps our monument videos)
What kind of adhesive do you apply to the vinyl for better adhesion and is the vinyl specialist vinyl?
We do not use vinyl. Our resist film is a photoresist; unlike vinyl its an image reproduction process, so there is no weeding to the image. The adhesive we are using is our product called RZ2 adhesive. Found at Rayzist.com
@chilby00 did you ever find out what the stencil is?
Great vid. Thank you.
I use typical vinyl,it is good for granite and marble like glossy surface,but on sandstone and other matt surface it is not properly sticking.which types of vinyl is better for matt surface?
Rayzist manufactures photoresist film designed for Sandblasting; our sand resist product often requires additional adhesive when blasting onto non-polished surfaces like natural stone or honed granite. We use our blastable adhesive RZ2; we would also use 'heat' on the surface of the stone to help activate the bond between our photomask and stone surface.
Are you wearing gloves?
what kind of fonts are the best for this
What nozzle set up are you using? Is it connected directly to the end of the hose and running from the pressure pot? What nozzle size? Is it a ceramic nozzle?
The blasting nozzles we were using here was a 3/32" Tungsten Carbide nozzle. Our nozzles are attached to the end of our Blasting Hose which is feed from the bottom of our Pressure Pot. Our Pressure Pots are attached to our cabinets which allow for unique self-contained recyclability of the blasting media. We also sell these Pressure Pot's as "stand-alone" system for on-site work or using with existing blast cabinets.

Love it! Is regular sign vinyl "blastable"?
Blasting without gloves.. Big health and safety no no. You would get proper fined by HSE in the UK for that
not to mention the sheer amounts of hand lotion she must use up.
I know it's cutting through brick and yet her hands are not protected. How dumb is that
Here's a trick I learned in the army: just sandblast the brick, not your hands.
You're welcome.
Great Job Art , am willing to learn more from you & also am interested to start art work. Am in Kenya ,how can i get the equipment please ...
can you use a regular building brick?
Yes you can. However building brick often has a lot of aggregate which is much harder to achieve an even blasting depth and often does not show good image resolution unless your design it's very bold.
are there any minimum requirements for the compressor, please? any CFM or PSI, please?
I'd like to blast slate signs.. floor slate tiles..
Can I get your photo mask in the UK, please? any retailers here?
How about the price of this vs a typical sandblasting vinyl mask, please?
Is it much more expensive?
gr8deals2do Our products are perfect for slate and all natural stone blasting. The minimum air requirement would be a compressor delivering minimally 5.5CFM if sandblasting at 30PSI. Sand blasting stone could require higher pressure to achieve depth faster. Yes, we do have our products available from our partner company in the UK,
The Glass Scribe. See: www.glassscribe.com you will be able to get product, pricing and support.
Good it is
Thanks for watching! Please take a look at some of our newer videos, see the "Learn Sandcarving" playlist.
Do you double the make before stencil cutting?
The photomask used is ONE mask. The purpose of this particular video was to illustrate, "if required" a thinner 4Mil mask could be used for a paver brick. We would suggest the use of a thicker photoresist mask mask for production. Most "walkway pavers" do not require too much blasting depth so a thinner photomask can be used, again if necessary.
If significant blast depth was required; you could double the mask if you had to.
Sandcarving Thank you.
amazing.. i would never put my bare hands in my cabinet and blast anything.. very nice
Hello Ron, thanks for your comment. Obviously, this does not hurt or harmful in any way. You are assuming this process is an industrial one with course media and it’s quite the opposite. Although we use a pressure blaster the blast media is quite fine and does not hurt your hands in any way.
Becuase its in the title - 4 mil seems about right & 2 mill is getting to thin for certain stencils but works. 5 mil is as thick for painting, but not for delicate work it tends to have resistance from laying down really good. havn't tried 3 mil.
Hello Aaron, this video was primarily done really to show that you "can" blast a paver using a 4Mil photoresist stencil (note this is a clay paver and concrete pavers are much more aggressive as soon as you break through the surface)
In truth, you really should be using a thicker resist, if at all possible so you can blast more aggressively (higher pressure or slower blasting strokes to allow the blast media to achieve depth quickly) 5Mil even 6Mil is preferred with using our SR2000 or SR3000 films.
Lasermask as eluded to in the video has resistant strength equal to 5Mil+!

Very interesting thanks for sharing.
for some reason i want to die when she says paver instead of brick
Certainly would not want you to do that.. Paver simply indicates a walkway stone that would/could be personalized rather then a brick they you would build a wall with.
very wonderfull, i liked. i am from brasil.... very good...
What kind of measurement is 4Mil?? millimetres?
How do you layer it to make it 8Mil?
What do you mean by apply adhesive to the back?
4Mil = micrometer (thousands of an inch) or accurately 100 µm
We do have photoresist film 9Mil & Monument grade film. What's being referred to in the video; if using LaserMask (which is 4Mil), you can lay down two layers for added resistant strength.
You can apply as a blastable adhesive (RZ2 Adhesive) to LaserMask or photoresist film for added adhesion.
see: Rayzist.com for more details on our product range
- very nice.
My ticket to financial independence has been punched .
someone has probably Asked this question but I will still ask. Doesn't the adhesive act as a Resist too? I have played around with contact paper/vinyl and I noticed that if the glass has any adhesive on the surface to be blasted, the adhesive acts as a Resist. I don't know if it has to do with the type of adhesive or the thickness of the adhesive that makes the difference. Thank You for Your comments!!
Hello Jeff, very thoughtful question. The resist used on Rayzist's photoresist films is a blastable adhesive and had little resistance strength. Photoresist film like the SR3000 Self Stick film, actually has no adhesive in the open area, the product is simply "Self Stick". Thanks again for the question.
Scary - who taught you to do all this type of work WITHOUT GLOVES?!
Appreciate the comment and for watching. We do recommend personal (latex) gloves, but they are personal preferences. Unlike industrial blasting the blasting grain is very fine and not harmful; secondly, the nozzle we use is very focused, so the blast stream is narrow. The point of our clips is a demonstration on a process, but there is nothing wrong with wearing gloves.
@chilby00 thanks for the info....have a good day
Don't you think you should've had predicative gloves on when you put your hands in that machine? Especially when you're putting a demonstration on RUclips!
Our products are perfect for sandblasting state and all natural stone. Minimally, your air compressor needs to provide 5.5CFM if sandblasting at 30PSI. Sandblasting stone may require more pressure to sandblast deeper. Yes, all of our products are available from our partner company in the UK.

Busco quien me rente un equipo de sandblast
Hola Miguel, no estoy seguro de a quién puedo recomendarte también. ¿Dónde están ubicados?
Protective*
I see much no gloves comments 👀
She should be wearing gloves
Thank You Michael. Liz is blasting using a 150 grit Alum Oxide, which is a fine blasting abrasive; not harmful to your hands nor is the media aggressive. For sanitary reasons protective gloves in our systems are more personal preference between rubber gloves and or lighter weight disposable latex. Often times engravers using finer blasting media choose not wear gloves.
Sandcarving do you need to wear gloves with 150 or 180 grit?
advertising u living in a rich area or giving blasting lessons,
Another reason not to live in UK
worst company name ever.
If you had invented it back in 1983, what would you have called it ?
