The final aspect in the art of the sandblast is true artistry. This is very difficult to put into words although I do have firsthand experience here- being allowed to play about with sandblasting both in England and Italy. The sandblast finish is by far my favorite, and I wanted to learn everything I could about how it is achieved. That I learned more of what shouldn’t be done than what should is perhaps a foregone conclusion. Almost anyone can sandblast a pipe; almost no one can produce a magnificent sandblast finish. To produce such an extraordinary article requires the correct touch using the correct machine operating at the correct pressure using the correct particles to sandblast the correct briar which has undergone the correct curing. And what is correct? It differs from maker to maker. You are the final judge as to who are the artists and who is pedestrian in the art of the sandblast. | The final aspect in the art of the sandblast is true artistry.
