Glass Etching with Sandblasting and Acid Cream

video Glass Etching with Sandblasting and Acid Cream
This is a video I made awhile back which shows some of the different types of glass etching.

Basically shows me sandblasting a glass in one and using acid cream etching in the other to personalize glass.  I prefer the sandblasting method but there are cool things you can do with both of them.

Just bought a heavy duty Sears sandblaster (electric). Will that work well?

"Basically it shows me sandblasting a glass in one and using acid cream etching in the other" should probably read:
"Basically shows me sandblasting a glass bottle in the first part and using acid cream etching in the second."

What type of sandblaster are you using?

I prefer to use the hinge method when applying the vinal decals, it gives you much more control on positioning the decal, check out my Ible on applying vinal decals.

I once had a sand blaster, now it's gone and this looks so awesome!

Seems like for the casual etcher the cream is a lot cheaper setup, why do you prefer the sandblasting?
