Blaster Question

I have a tabletop blasting cabinet from HF that uses pretty high pressure and leaks like a sieve...I am thinking about going to their freestanding Cabinet and getting their 100# Pressure Pot. Has anyone had any experience with the HF Pot? Really nice if I could afford the good stuff but on a budget ...

Sand Mold question,

I have made a Box Sand Mold and have Pressed textures into the sand to make relief in the glass. I am wondering if I sift powders into the depressed areas of the mold and then take it to a Tack fuse temp if the powders will provide contrast to those areas?

Re: Frit Maker

A garbage disposal is on the "to do " list..this was an impulse purchase. Presently using two pipes and with a rehabbing rotator cuff its hard to gring/pound the glass manually. For the purpose I will be using this frit a bit of contamination is insignificant
