I'm sure we've got enough folks is this group who have sandblasted. Need to
make some clear glass into frosted for a light fixture. Is is reasonable to
think I can sandblast the back and get a nice even effect across the glass
(round piece, like a salad bowl, 24" across, 10" deep.

Thanks.
Steve.

Yep, its that easy, Just tape off areas not to be sandblasted. For tall
drinking glasses I stuffed them with paper then taped the opening closed. I
even blasted a one inch line around mayo jars to use for labelling.

Even better, etch it with commercial glass etching liquid, available at any
stained glass hobby shop.

>Even better, etch it with commercial glass etching liquid,

In what way is any process that involves handling hydrofluoric acid
"better" than something that's a simple mechanical process ? That is
one hell of a nasty chemical, one I certainly won't handle.
