Hi Peeps,
I bought my self a small cabinet and sand blasting equipment and have been playing with it. Need to upgrade the compressor and learn a few more things before I can say I've got it under control. Still I've enjoyed cutting decals for the blasting. Here's a couple of examples.


I will be putting up the patterns and the svg decals shortly into my bazaar - probably next week. Need to check more of them out before I feel they are up to scratch. I want to test out some tiles and see what happens. I've got hooked on this glass blasting so we will see what we see LOL
Have fun, Di, ID 14610

You guys are speaking Greek with me on this issue. This is very interesting and I’ll stay tuned to learn something about it. Some place to get more information about it?

Hanging wine bottle lamp.
And to be thorough, click to see a large number of wine bottle lighting ideas.
The big challenge is cutting the bottom off the wine bottle. Some people use glass cutting jigs and some prefer a tile saw.
Here's some ideas on cutting wine bottles and things to do with wine bottles that have been cut.

a couple of good ceramic nozzles, a fine point nozzle from PABlaster here in the US. Oh, and don't forget to have really! good dust vacuum (at least 5micron bag!) That's my set-up for now anyway. And you are right on the money about how fun and addicting this is!!!!! I have some pretty detailed stencils of wildlife , if you would like to use them. HaaHaaa! Away we go!!

Second, Pat mentioned that she is using a pressure pot with her blasting cabinet. Pressure pots mix the grit and the air in one container, unlike a siphon system that uses a venturi vacuum to pick up grit that is lying in the bottom of the cabinet with a siphon tube in it. Pressure pots operate at a lower PSI than the siphon guns that come with the blasting cabinets. This gives you more control over the grit spray. She also uses different sized nozzles with her pressure pot, so she controls the size of the spray that is coming out of the gun. However, pressure pots aren't generally designed to work in blasting cabinets, so some mods to the cabinet have to be made. Such as adding a foot pedal to replace the gun/trigger design on most guns that come with the cabinet.
Finally she mentions using a "really good dust vacuum" with a 5 micron filter in it. That will protect your lungs from very fine grit dust. Which is very important. Some people use a cyclonic dust collector such as a "Dust Deputy" and a really good respirator mask. The dust collector will catch any grit that escapes the cabinet and collect it in a catch pot. That happens before the grit gets to your vac and therefore you don't have to worry so much about very fine grit being exhausted into the work area's air by the vacuum. And since the collector catches all the grit that doesn't fall back into the cabinet while you're blasting, you can easily sift the captured grit to remove any impurities and then reuse it. This has a lot of benefits. It saves your lungs, saves you money, and reduces wear and tear on your vac's motor and filter.

I think most compressor have a valve below the tank when you done for the day crack it open and let the air pressure out just don't forget to close it again
