Sandblasting Help!!!!!
 

Hi all im going to try out sandblasting, but now I need you guys help, where do I get the plast/paper you cut out the patten ???? to glu on the bead


Thanks Anny Glass

You can use contact paper. Walmart sells it. Just use paper punchers to make cut outs

ty mina but im living in Denmark and I have my own pattens so I have to cut it out my self and it is so mush detalis that i use a cutter for it...

I did not like contact paper because it was not flexible enough to make good contact with all of the surfaces on my round beads. I bought (I think) 18 mil rubber resist from glastar. I wanted to do some sandblasting with stone so I opted for a heavy duty product. I will send you a bit in a letter sized envelope for you to try if you'd like. It can be a somewhat pricey investment. The only down side is that it is relatively thick and it can be hard to cut out intricate designs.

Butter cut is what you want.

You can get material from a sign shop.

If you are using a cutter than definitely try the sign vinyl in two or three mil thickness. For stock and repeatable designs, try stickers with a metallic surface. Jeri

I have used card stock paper and a glue stick. works great.
