This varietch powder sounds like "miracle stuff". I'm presently sand-blasting, coating with an oil finish and sending the work out with perpetual care instructions. Not an optimum situation.
Does this varietch actually seal the sandblasted surface? No more oily finger smears? Does the varietch'd glass glow when light hits it?
Marty or any one else who's tried it..........will you post pictures of your test results with the varietch???
Ron beat me to it-
Bert- check that link for test results.
Gale- photos won't show it, it's just like sandblasted BE sealed/coated with armorall or mineral oil but a little less wetted-looking. No glow. No fingerprints.
Dee- Bob's not selling it yet? He did post prices (about US$20 for a quart).
My stuff's all dissolved, I'm not comfortable shipping it wet. Come by the studio and play!!

In the long distant past I used 2 grind 220
Then SB 280 silicon carbide
There is other technology U could try
SB with glass beads
Use current method but use a rotating brush + grit or pumace
I do think with the application of
Devious Cunning tm
U could achive the nearvana U wish with a lot less effort
