Media Blast Damage Removal Tools

Media Blast Damage
Damage Category: 4
Approx. Time/Sq. Ft.: 12 – 15 minutes

Media blast damage is one of the most severe forms of glass surface impairment. While media blasting is a technique used by glass artisans for decorative etching, unintended damage typically occurs during nearby masonry restoration activities, where abrasive media inadvertently impacts the glass.

Due to its extreme nature, restoring media blast damage is exceptionally time-consuming and labor-intensive. Restoration is generally recommended only when glass replacement is infeasible or too costly. Repairing such damage often involves resurfacing the entire glass pane, which can take four to five times longer than addressing other types of glass damage.

Given the complexity and extensive work required, technicians must approach media blast restoration with a clear understanding of the time and resources involved. This meticulous and prolonged process demands a high level of skill and patience to effectively restore the glass.

Media Blast Damage can be removed using GlassRenu’s Grey RenuDisk, Red RenuDisk, Polishing Compound, and Polishing Felts.
