Stone is probably the best surface to work with for sandblasting projects, and also the most challenging. It’s a great substrate because it can be easy to shape and carve, and many stone types have different textures and patterns as you dig a little deeper through the surface which can give your engraving design a whole new look. Most stone surfaces are also somewhat rough and bumpy by nature which makes it easy to adhere your sandblasting stencil and have it hold fast for the duration of the project. On the challenging side, not all stone is created equally, so you need to know what you’re working with and how it reacts to the sandblasting process to be able to achieve professional grade results every time.
