That's why vacu-blast equipment was invented. No mess and high speed blasting. Blast gun shoots out sand and vacuums up all the dust and bits at the same time. Kevin

Paste might be a good way to control the frosting on items where you only need to do a small area.

I bought some of the liquid and it's very efective on unblasted float glass. The etch looks like acid dipping, very soft and even.

On Bullseye it's only efective if you sandblast first and use the etch to soften the surface which it does a nice job. On unblasted Bullseye the etch looks like devit on some colors (black), but some colors do etch fairly even without blasting (white and opal red 0124).
