The sandblaster is an essential piece of equipment that actually allows you to etch a design out of the glass to create a more elegant finish than its counterpart process using crafters cream (link). A sandblaster is only needed for the abrasive process. ***A quick note***(abrasive and sandblast etching means the same thing and is interchangeable throughout this resource as well as other resources)***
Also, a sandblaster can be used for many different types of abrasive media other than sand. Sand is not encouraged nor recommended, and it is very dangerous to your health. The recommended abrasive media will be discussed in detail later.
