Hello,
I'm a very new person in this forum and take the liberty asking information.=
In
my country Finland sandblasting is a very little used technic in ceramic
decoration and acid etching is unknown. Indeed some glass people use acid
etching.
I'm looking for good resist materials to sandblast and acid etching( technic
silkscreen printing). I have got some recipes and after testing found out it=
was
not very good. I'm interesting in =22no-smell=22 resists, meaning not much =
strong
smelling dissolvents. If somebody even knows good books of that, I'll be =
very
grateful.
I have checked all glass and ceramic books and magazines, which I have found
from my country and just one ceramic book mention acid etching (Peter
Beard/Resist and masking techniques). From glass books I have got many good
informations, but not real masking recipes. I know latex, wax, rubber =
solutions,
sellotapes, lead foils, animal fats and pitch can be used, but in my case I =
want
printing mask material with silkscreen to ceramic and some kind of vax or =
glue
mix is maybe answer. If you know, send me information. I'll try help another
time, if possible.
Kindly Riitta from Finland

3-M corporation makes a flexible membrane called buttercut that is a resistant
to sandblasting. You just wrap your ceamic piece with it, it is very
flexible, then you cut out what you whant to sandblast, then it peals off
easy
as to where you can get it where you are at, I cannot help you there
I would talk to some glass blowing people in your area
thanks
good luck
