Recently I used a sandblaster for texturing an avacodo bowl and loved the
results..I'm wondering if anyone slse here does this and if so what type of
"masking" they would use to limit the blasted areas..
thanks,Rick

I've just started experimenting with sandblasting too. What grade of
grit is best? I'm working with 80 grit at the moment but maybe I
should go coarser?

I havn't done it myself, but was at a Trent Bosch turning demo recently
where he was talking about using ground (not beaded) glass for
sandblasting. Also, he uses electrical tape to mask in detailed areas
of his turnings. The product looked great.
I have worked for sign shops that did sandblasting, they use a product
called "butter cut", which is a self adhesive, easily cut kinda thick
rubber sheet. It resists blasting best, but is a bit expensive. Cuts
easily (hence the name) with a craft knife.

I've used regular masking tape to protect areas during sandblasting. Works
well and you probably have it on hand.
