Photo resist and equipment/services suppliers:
Rayzist - this is my favorite
supplier for photo resist - great folks, friendly, knowledgeable
and service oriented. Tell them Cordell sent you!
PhotoBrasives
- I have used their products, they're great "follow-up"
folks assuring you success with their products.
Hartco - These folks
have distributors around the country and provide non-photo resist
products - I use them and love 'em.
Blasting Guns and nozzles
Note: You can pick up guns, nozzles, hoses etc. from most Loews
(the old Eagle on West coast), Sears, Home Depot and a variety of
other hardware/power equipment type stores.
Pickard Artistic Blasting
Inc. - Here's a small trigger type blasting gun for some of
the finer work as well as general blasting. It comes with a couple
different size nozzles and hoses. I have one and love it! A bit
pricey, but if you are going to be doing a lot of work, it's really
worthwhile.
(this is the gun being used in the Stage
Carving video)
Pressure Pots and compressor related equipment
Ruemelin - A couple friends
use these pressure pots and swear by them
HarborFreight Tools
- Not the highest end tools, but usually less expensive than most.
I use their 40 pound pressure pots with good results. (They go on
sale frequently at great prices)
Glastar - A great variety
of products and useful information!
Pickard Artistic Blasting
Inc. -He has custom pressure pots, cabinets, etc.
Abrasives
Both Rayzist and PhotoBrasives
have what your looking for in this line.
Grizzley.com also has abrasive.
Glass and Crystal Blanks
Note: A great source for glass blanks is just at your local stained
glass supply shop - lots of variety in glass as well as beveled
and unique pieces!
Delphi Glass. They are
great people to call for information and special needs too!
Rayzist - These folks just
about have it all....
Masks and stencils - Custom and ready-made
Again, Rayzist and PhotoBrasives
will do the work for you or provide what you need!
OK - so there you go --- if these links don't work, please let
me know, people change things over time I'll most likely not be
keeping a close eye on each and every one. If you have a site that
you think is worth sharing, please sent it along to me. Thanks!
