Also Carrie,
Go there with your business name and tell them you want to set up a cash account. They sell to businesses. If you are one when you walk in, there will be no trouble.

Usually they have a 'city desk' go there to set up the account.

I have a brand spankin new blasting cabinet that has been sitting in my garage for over six months. I will get it up and running..eventually.

This "amoeba" was in etching solution for about eight hours and it came out pretty toasted.

I have etched colored boro with Armour Etch. I accidentally left it in for about two days and got a very interesting surface. Not a smooth sandblast look at all. It looked more like crystalized sugar covering the surface.

If you sand blast the surface, you DO weaken the glass. it's just like scoring it in a million places. It will snap just like a scored rod. Beef up your designs if you are going to blast sculpture.

Most of what I'll be sandblasting will be marbles anyways, so no worries there...
