Thanks for responding. This is what I was needing to know. I am wanting to
give it a try on small items just for fun. I was planning on getting a
small blasting cabinet for it. I thought the dust would be contained but
probably not. So it will become a backyard thing to do. With a dustmask,
that works.

Do you have any experience with the glass etching goo sold in craft
stores?
===========================

The "glass etching goo" is hydroflouric acid, and it can be some nasty
stuff. Treat it like you would battery acid and you'll be OK. You have to
have a good masking material for your pattern. It takes about 5 minutes to
etch a glass piece with this stuff.
