General Procedure:
- Make design in VinylMaster Cut
- You may want to cut a “perimeter” of lines around the sticker, but scissors will work too…
- Cut design on vinyl cutter
- Alt-P in VinylMaster Cut
- attach sticker to glass, perform weeding as necessary (removing bits of sticker where etching will occur)
- The hobby knives are the most dangerous tool in the shop, so be careful!
- (optional: add some masking tape above/below sticker to prevent unwanted etching)
- At the Sandblaster:
- Practice blasts on one of
- A sacrificial glass piece
- A piece of rusty metal?
- A random piece of acrylic or something? (this may be the best as you can cut out a piece of the mask?)
- Blast the glass! Should only take a few seconds of blasting to etch the glass.
