Sandblasting is a process in which, sand, glass and other abrasive material is blasted at high speed through a machine on to a surface to smoothen it. This is used to remove an existing paint, run or to prepare a surface for a fresh coat of paint. The kind of material used for sandblasting depends on the surface and its difficulty. If a surface is hard, hard mediums are used and if a surface is soft, soft mediums are used for sandblasting. This is important, as using hard mediums to sandblast a soft surface can cause damage to the surface and render it useless. Sandblasting is also used to carve out attractive designs or words on glass and other material.

 

Sandblasting consists of the 3 different parts:

1. The abrasive

2. An Air Compressor

3. Blaster nozzle

 

It also consists of a workstation to hold small objectives or glasses which need sandblasting. A container is also present to gather the excessive dust that accumulates as a result of sandblasting.
