Blast stencil pattern on acrylic
General Procedure
- Tape existing stencil to a piece of acrylic scrap. The stencil will only allow abrasion in the areas desired.
- Open the cabinet door using the door latch.
- Place the stencil/acrylic into sandblast cabinet
- Make sure to secure the door using the latch. If the door is left open it will create a cloud of dust that should not be inhaled.
- Turn on the cabinet light and fan with the power switch located on the top left of the machine.
- Insert your arms into the gloves and position yourself for a clear view into the cabinet.
- You may need to hold the corner of the part down while blasting, manually aim where the stencil doesn't cover the acrylic. Do not point the gun at your gloves or the window.
- Position your foot in the foot pedal mechanism. Once the pedal is depressed sand will blast out of the nozzle.
- Keep the nozzle 3 to 4" away from the acrylic and keep the nozzle moving so it keeps a consistent frost pattern.
- Before removing parts, wait 5-10 mins after turning off the power switch. This allows time for the dust in the cabinet to settle.
- Once you remove parts make sure to close the cabinet door and turn the power switch to the off position.
Safety
- Make sure the cabinet door is closed before stepping on the air activation pedal.
- Keep the activation pedal clear when loading the cabinet.
- After you are done using the blaster let the dust in the cabinet settle prior to opening the door.
- Inhaling the dust produced by the cabinet is bad for your lungs.
- Never point the nozzle towards your hand or the window in the cabinet.
