Elevate Your Glass Projects: Sandblasting Tips + New Products

Can borosilicate/Pyrex glass be sandblasted? Absolutely. Let us show you how to create gorgeous glass designs with confidence.


Enhance your glass projects with stunning sandblasted designs. Borosilicate glass, like the type used in your favourite glasses and water bottles, is perfect for sandblasting. However, there are a few key things to remember to ensure beautiful and durable results.



First and foremost, depth matters. When sandblasting, it’s crucial to only surface etch the glass and never exceed 10% of the glass thickness. This preserves the strength and integrity of your piece. Choosing the right film is also essential for a successful project. Our washout film, particularly the R series, offers the protection you need to achieve precise and clean designs. For more details, visit our PS39 product page.


Adjusting your settings is another important aspect. Using lower pressure in your sandblasting cabinet helps prevent over-blasting, which can damage the glass. For more information about our sandblasting cabinets and to find the perfect one for your needs, check out our product page.
