This is a cool video on sandblasting glass. You can use a pressure pot or a regular siphon blaster to etch interesting designs. Watch the video by clicking below. This hobby can led into sandcarving glass also.

Cool video.
Looks real easy but I’ll bet it’s easy to shatter the glass if pressure or abrasive feed is wrong?
Would a soft brush be better for cleaning?
Abrasive can get caught up in rags/shop towel/etc and cause scratches
Isn’t there a lot of silica released blasting glass?

Yeah, the trick is to use fine abrasive and do a very light sandblasting.
I agree a soft brush probably would be better but I have never had the abrasive scratch with a towel.
There is definitely some silca released from the glass but I don’t think its a lot. A good breathing mask should have been used. Stupid me!
