Default Small Sandblast Templates

Hi -
I'd like to sandblast my logo into the bottom corner of every panel I sell.
Anyone know where I can have a metal template made that'll let me do this
quickly and easily?

thanx-

~steve

Hi Steve,

I would think any tool & die shop with an EDM, or laser machine could do
it,....at a substantial cost. I have made my own stencil out of silicon
rubber sheet. I found the rubber at a local hardware.

These are pretty basic, but they work great. I just took a regular set of
paper stencils and traced them down onto the rubber. I then cut the rubber
out with an exacta knife. The rubber holds up fine to the sand blaster. I
use a little spray adhesive to hold it down to the glass. Then clean it up
with acetone.

Most tempering shops I've seen use rubber also, get more life out of them.

You could have a sign shop do your logo in resist. Numerous copies, just
peel one off when you need it.
