 Micro-abrasive blasting is also used for:
- Restoration of valuable artifacts, paintings, and other art objects
- Cleaning and preparation of semi-precious stones and jewelry
 Decorative engraving with micro-abrasive blasting yields attractive results on a variety of hard materials such as glass, acrylic, marble, onyx, phenolic, wood and ceramic. Artists etch words or designs by either freehand blasting or stencil blasting. Stencil blasting involves using a mask applied to the item to be blasted. Any open areas on the stencil will be blasted creating the design on the piece. Micro-abrasive blasting also provides the accuracy and tight focus to be used for drawing with the abrasive stream on the item. Personalizing glassware with names and dates is a popular freehand application.
