Issue 1 - August 2009

We are unveiling a new web site with new features. We will still have product information, how to videos, and life helps, but our new web site will have a new look and additional applications. For our dealers as well as our end users. It is our desire that our web site is a tool, that will allow our distributors to better serve the needs of their customers. Each distributor will have their own secured page, where they can retrieve sales information, shipping status, and more. End users are important to us and our distributors. Our new web site has been designed to be an interactive tool to help make the users of Hartco SandMask be more productive. In addition to the product information and how to videos, that have always been a part of hartcoservice.com, our customer will have more communication options with Hartco and the opportunity to share their knowledge about process and technique with each other. Whether a distributor or end user, a major goal of Hartco is to offer exceptional customer service.

Glass etching is the abrading or roughening of a piece of glass in selected areas in order to produce a design. It is a way to produce a “frosted” design on the surface of a piece of glass, but it is much more than that! It can also be used to carve a design deep into the glass or to produce a shaded design that looks like delicate airbrushing but is permanently etched in the glass. Using the same equipment and techniques, it is also possible to etch or carve on stone, ceramic or wood, and even to etch designs on metal! Read More

The thinner mask allows for more detail and crisper lines. Environmentally speaking, beings a comparable rubber mask is approximately 50% thicker it also creates 50% more waste. Read More
