Vinyl sign makers use an adhesive vinyl that looks like etched

I've been looking at the vinyl films. They come in different textures
and might go that way. I have an old craftsman siphon sand blaster
that came with my 2 hp compressor and I used to use it a bit on
glass. But, I have a wide expanse of glass to do and was worried
about getting an even etch with it. Plus it's dirty as hell and you
really need a cabinet or a filter and a hood for your face. In my
younger days I used to use it without breathing protection or a hood
and used fine silica sand. Figure I'm lucky to still be brething.
Knock on wood. Another option I have considered is handmade botanical
paper with a backing of some sort, but long term cleanliness might be
a problem. Thanks everyone for the input.
