Pickard Artistic Blasting

Blasting Systems

The PAB BLASTING SYSTEMS are designed to meet all your blasting needs. Surface, multi-layer, dimensional, and shadow blasting. The systems will operate from 4 psi for shadow to 60 psi for glass carving. The PAB systems will surface blast on small items such as wedding glasses or on larger projects such as storefront windows. The PAB systems are portable and can be hand-carried to do on-site blasting.

Dimensional Blasting is the art of carving designs into the glass at various depths using stencils, liquid resist or photo resist. With the control the PAB System gives the artist, the carving technique can also be done free hand. This technique is close to wood carving except it is done on glass with a blasting gun. Think of the doors a PAB SYSTEM could open up in Artistic Blasting.

Airbrushing, considered a delicate skill, was previously used only by seasoned artisans. With the PAB SYSTEMS, anyone can know the excitement of creating fine art work, easily airbrush-blasting lips, eyes, and facial shadings using only 4 psi air.

All of our PAB Blasting Models are ready to use, just fill with the abrasive of your choice, connect to air supply and enjoy. For most applications we recommend 120 grit of either aluminum oxide or silica carbide, which can be bought in most large cities, and an air supply of 5 cfm at 90 psi.
