red wood sign question about sandblasting

Go to Harbor freight and check into soda blasting. Works well, easily controllable, less toxic, earth friendly and cheaper.

Sand is just one of several media that can be used for “sandblasting”, and there are different kinds of sand that can be used depending on what is being blasted. Look up media blasting to see what can be used.

I suspect that sand would be too aggressive for a soft wood (like redwood or cedar), and you would have better luck with a softer media.

I cut my stencils on my Craft Robo

They have a great self adhesive media blasting screen, the grit bounces off and
leaves nice clean edges.

I use glass bead as I’m tight and recycle it OFTEN

Easy to clean the media as the glass sinks. :)

I’f I can be of more help just let me know.
