Thank you so much for answering some of my questions. Now since I do not know anything about this process is there a book or vidio to show step by step so I can learn how to do this type of work.
Also how big of a item can you sand blast and do you ever do jobs on site, for like large pieces?
Just trying to think this all out and study up on this.
Thanks Cidny

You can go to www.etchmaster.com. Norm and Ruth Dobbins offer a wide range of video tapes on the subject. They also offer some excellent (and super fun) seminars.
On-site blasting requires special equipment so that you will minimize the mess. Obviously you will need a portable air compressor. You will also need a specialized unit that will blast the material then collect the grit immediately. Here is the unit I am referring to. http://www.glastar.com/catalog/sandblasting/OS-7.cfm
