Transcription Daniel: So Dustin, we're here at your sandblasting booth and that's where you actually create etched glass. Dustin: We do. So what we can do is we actually take a sandblasting product- different mediums for different things- and we literally blow the face off the glass. So we take a clear surface and we make it look etched. Daniel: And that's really good for any customizations that customers want to do probably for either their bathrooms or entryways. Dustin: We're doing some crazy stuff. We've shot the back off of mirrors to create an opaque look on a mirror. We've done custom stuff on showers. Whether it's just a design or an ornate particular thing that this customer wants. We've done lettering on the face of a mirror for an entryway. front doors. Again with our industry, it's becoming more of a custom game. The sky's the limit. Daniel: Cool, well I'll let you get to work. Alright so you just finished sandblasting this mirror and I have to say, the finished product looks amazing. I mean, this is a really cool, custom look. Dustin: It's nice to be able to give a client whatever it is that they want, right? There's been a long time where we've not been able to do that. And sandblasting and etching are two great ways to do that. Whether it's on a mirror or again on regular, clear glass. Daniel: Again, perfect for commercial and residential applications. And actually you've backlit this so it really makes that sandblasted part pop. Dustin: Right, that's the goal. Light these up, show off the custom piece and walk away.
