Just set up my sand blaster and blasted the back of a pot melt! Goodbye stuck on kiln wash!

Now I need to figure out all the resist stuff. I guess an electronic cutter would probably make life easier?

Practice with good shelf liner if not as good it is almost as good.  I have a friend that cuts mine with a laser plotter.

An electronic cutter would be nice, but life can go on with an X-acto knife.

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

Yup...an X-acto knife or a good craft knife with a swivel head works just fine.  Cheaper too!

Congrats, I have had my sandblaster since late last fall, but have not yet taken time to set it up and sandblast (in my case that means ruin) anything yet.

I have hopes to do it before the end of summer, but who knows.  I have become very busy with a new line of work, and am finding free time is harder to come by.

Good luck with your new toy! Thumbs Up 3

You can use a Cricuit to cut stencils as well.

Good for you - love new tools - are you also going to do some etchings?
