Larry, I can vouch for the credibility of the "I can't believe it's not sandblasting" vinyl. Very realistic and capable of fooling the trained eye, from a (short) distance. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Glad to hear about the good looks fo the vinyl. I was aware of it but hadn't heard comments. Now as soon as I can find the switch on my vinyl cutter I'll have something to do. Mike Null Dist. of Lazer Cutting Grid www.stl-laser.com

And it is great for municipalities where the manager/clerk/etc. name may change with every election.... :S "Good friends can be a real annoyance."

Harvey, I'm sorry, but, tempered glass can most certainly be sandcarved.

I was told by a few sand carvers that they would never touch it again.

But I'll take your word for it.

I currently work for a sign company here and do alot of vinyl work. The etchmark vinyl is difficult to lay because it is so thin that it gets bubbles really easy, but once it is laid on the glass, it does look like etched glass.

Franklin, I haven't worked with vinyl much, but do the usual tricks of the trade (application solution, i.e., soapy water) help with eliminating air bubbles during installation? David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Dave: Sqeegee as normal. My wife put this on our door after I cut it and it looks great. Normally an office or the like just wants a number or something small , so it could be done on site. We didn't find it any more difficult than other vinyls. Epilog EXT 40w, Vision 16x24,
