Glass?

[gotcha]

I am going to making a few calls for a group of us heading on a hunt this spring.They will be doublesided,glass over slate.I am going to have some artwork laser engraved on the underside of the glass,the area of the glass where the striker touches,what is the best way to condition that area.I have only used blasted glass for calls,this needs to be clear due to the design on the glass.Etetch cream then sand?

I prefer the sound of the sanded glass over the etched glass. Personal preference. I think the striker has better friction.

I prefer clear glass conditioned over etched or bead blasted.

Thanks guys,always used blasted then clean it up a little by sanding.I will be trying to condition a very small area so the design will still be visiable,any tips?

[magnoliagamecalls]

I just use a conditioning stone to do the area I want done.

I use a dremel tool with a diamond burr to condition glass.  This will cut through the slick surface.  I then use 120 grit sandpaper in strokes going only one direction (left to right, for example) to get a playing area ready to run.

Thanks,glass it at engraving shop now but will use the suggestions given.

That's a good suggestion Wendell

X2, I like the same setup with the dremel. Just got some glass sandblasted, want to see how they work..
