Makers' Alliance Wiki

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
    1. A sacrificial glass piece
    2. A piece of rusty metal?
    3. 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.
