Sandblaster for glue chipping

Post by Richard McKinley »

I found (or rather rediscovered) an old text on sandblasting, etching and other glass treatments. The glue chipping section states "Apply resit and cut away areas to be chiped. Sandblast surface and proceed with the glue chipping process.

The author recommended a Sear's model but the book was published in 1980.

My question is what is the smallest sandblaster/compressor recommended for the above and for HDU utilized in the sign by David Showalter, featured in Sept/Oct 2011 SG?

Thank you

Etching glass you can use anything but for HDU you'll need more pressure and voluome of media.
