Preparation in 3 Easy Steps
Apply Mask
Apply the photo mask to a dust and debris-free area where you’d like to etch your image.
Squeegee Mask to Substrate
Use plastic squeegee and apply pressure to secure the photo mask to the substrate.
Remove Protective Liner
Remove clear liner from mask. This is to maintain the integrity of the masking and image.
Done! You are now ready to sandblast.
SR3000™ Self Stick Sandcarving Film
SR3000™ is a repositionable self-stick photoresist film that adheres to any polished surface such as glass, crystal, metal and ceramic. SR3000™ has industry-leading durability and resolution capabilities—you can trust it with half-tone images or ultra high resolution images, for deep to surface etching and on flat or curved surfaces. SR3000™ is a washout film that is designed for production. SR3000™ sandcarving film etches quickly and removes the photomask easily with no residue.
Durable
SR3000™ Photoresist Film is designed to be strong and long lasting. Depending on the Mil thickness, SR3000™ can endure Aluminum oxide or Silicon carbide 220, 180, 150 & 120 grit abrasive.
Excellent Detail
Maintains the quality of original halftone or vector images.
Multiple Thicknesses
SR3000™ Photoresist Film is available in 3Mil, 4Mil & 5Mil. 3Mil is ideal for fine detail and half-tone images. 4Mil is perfect for moderately detailed artwork that requires a moderate depth etch. 5Mil is appropriate for artwork requiring a deep etch.
Quick Process
Exposure times are quick. The washout process is streamlined for maximum efficiency. Provide a ready to use mask fast.
Flexible
SR3000™ is the most flexible sandcarving film available. Use it on flat or curved or tapered surfaces. It is also ideal for applying a color fill application.
Easy Application
SR3000™ Photoresist Film is a repositionable sandcarving film. Apply SR3000™ photomask to the surface and realign multiple times if needed. Squeegee photomask once in place. Sandcarving is quick since there no layer of adhesive. Peel photomask stencil easy with no residue.
SR2000™ Photo Resist Sandcarving Film
SR2000™ patented non-stick surface streamlines processing, without limiting your ability to carve fine details and compelling etches on a variety of materials. SR2000™ is the preferred photo resist film when a high tack bond is required to secure the photomask to substrate. This high tack bond is ideal for powder coated metal, wood, unpolished, porous and uneven natural stone surfaces.
Durable
SR2000™ photo resist film is durable and will endure high pressure blasting with a coarse abrasive.
Recommended Materials
SR2000™ photo resist film in 5 Mil & 6Mil is ideal for metal, powder coated metal, acrylic and wood materials.
Stone Surfaces
SR2000™ photo resist film in 6Mil & 9Mil is ideal for natural stone and uneven surfaces. Sandblast depth into granite, brick, pavers, tile and all stone materials.
Quick Process
Exposure times are low for SR2000™ photo resist film. The washout process is streamlined for maximum efficiency. Provide a ready to use mask quickly.
Excellent Detail
Sandblast detailed designs into natural stone surfaces. Moderate to deep carvings is achievable with SR2000™ photo resist film 5Mil, 6Mil & 9Mil.
Adhesive Strength
Determine the bond strength for the project. Apply RZ2 brush-on adhesive to photomask stencil. RZ2 adhesive provides a strong tack for the photo resist stencil to adhere to unpolished surfaces or an aggressive sandblast. RZ3 spray on adhesive is also available.
SRMonument™
Photoresist Film
SRMonument™ is a pre-glue monument photoresist film. It is unlike any other monument film with the benefits of detailed artwork and is able to endure a tough aggressive sandblast without having to apply adhesive to the film. There is absolutely no weeding or application of adhesive. Perfect for the monument builder requiring detail designs.

Pre-glue photoresist film
Aggressive layer of adhesive for high tack bond.
High pressure blast
Best performance 80 grit up to 120PSI
Use in auto sandblast systems
The durable monument photoresist film is able to withstand high pressure blast with a coarse grit to achieve depth quickly.
Designed for stone and pavers
Ideal for granite, concrete and irregular surfaces
LASER the design. Apply LazerMask™ Sandcarving film to the substrate and laser. The laser will create the Sandcarving stencil.
CARVE the item for depth with Aluminum Oxide or Silicon Carbide 120-150 grit is recommended to use with LazerMask™ film. Sandblast pressure 20-50PSI for best results. Leave the LazerMask™ stencil on and add an optional paint fill.
CREATE beautiful sandcarved items such as spirit bottles, crystal awards, stone and wood materials using LazerMask™ film.
LazerMask™ is an extremely durable Sandcarving film and designed to be used with your C02 or YAG Laser. The film is coated with a high tack adhesive for superior bond strength. LazerMask™ is also know as a laser mask or laser tape film.
Adhesive
LazerMask™ Sandcarving film has a layer of high tack adhesive for superior bond strength. Great for stone, wood, glass, spirit bottles and ceramic surfaces.
Easy to use
Apply LazerMask™ to the substrate. Laser to create a stencil and sandcarve. The film removes easily providing a quick clean up.
Achieve Depth
This film is perfect for a laser engraver desiring to etch depth in glass, crystal, and stone.
Flexible
LazerMask™ Sandcarving film is perfect for curved surfaces due to the flexibility of the film.
Blast detail images
LazerMask™ Sandcarving film maintains high resolution designs.
Color Fill
LazerMask™ is also ideal for adding a paint fill to the sandcarved surface. The laser mask film peels easily even with a painted surface.
Monument LazerMask™; is like our original LazerMask™ sandcarving film, but tougher and created with durability to withstand aggressive sandblasting as done in monument shops. Monument LazerMask™ is a non-PVC sandcarving film that will not corrode (oxidize) your laser’s hardware. With our Monument LazerMask™; you can utilize the accuracy and precision of a laser engraver to reproduce images into stone and unpolished surfaces. The monument film is extremely media (abrasive) resistant and can handle a high-pressure blast with a coarse abrasive. This Monument LazerMask™ is specifically created for Sandcarving stone, pavers, brick, and unpolished surfaces due to the aggressive adhesive. The aggressive adhesive adheres to bricks, stone, and honed surfaces.
Adhesive
Monument LazerMask™ Sandcarving film has an aggressive layer of adhesive to bond with unpolished surfaces. Water based adhesive reduces or eliminates residue.
Easy to use
Apply Monument LazerMask™ to unpolished surfaces and squeegee. Laser the image to create the stencil, then Sandblast stencil.
Master Depth
Monument LazerMask is extremely blast resistant, capable of maintaining the film’s integrity with blasting at high pressure. Use with a coarse abrasive such as 100grit to achieve your desire depth faster.
Approved for Laser Engravers
Safe to use in a laser! The Monument LazerMask is a non-PVC film that will not harm a laser engraver.
Blast detail images
Use Monument LazerMask™ Sandcarving film for granite, brick, pavers and all stone surfaces.
Color Fill
Monument LazerMask™ is also ideal for adding a paint fill to the sandblasted surface. The laser mask film removes easily from surface.
LASER the design. Apply Monument LazerMask™ Sandcarving film to the substrate and laser. The laser will create the Sandcarving stencil.
