SandBlasting Equipments & Supplies

What Is A Sandblasting Stencil?

According to the dictionary a stencil is “a device for applying a pattern, design, words, etc., to a surface, consisting of a thin sheet of cardboard, metal, or other material from which figures or letters have been cut out, a coloring substance, ink, etc., being rubbed, brushed, or pressed over the sheet, passing through the perforations and onto the surface.”

Well this is the formal definition, but in the common practice 99% of the uses can be solved with only a film. This film protects the parts of the item we don’t need to sandblast; usually glass. This film works as a sandblasting stencil that is easy to draw on, easy to cut and with an adhesive back.

As you can notice this is a generic item, but you can also find, at many sandblasting suppliers, predesigned forms and letters. Their use is extremely easy. Just put the adhesive side in contact with the glass and start your sandblasting work.

Professional engravers decorate pieces of glass by using hand tools or machinery to cut designs or inscriptions into the surface. These professionals can produce original designs or copy existing ones. They work on a variety of items including goblets, decanters, bowls, mirrors and glass panels.

Glass engravers use a variety of methods and many different tools, ranging from the simplest diamond-point hand tool to complex sandblasting machinery.
