I'd sandblast that on flashed blue on white glass (done my share of blasting in a prior life)

for a link to the ABF insignia

Thanks very much.  Sandblasting was what I had in mind, only on blue iridized glass.

Will be most anxious to see your final product! I always liked the flashed glass as it was such a great contrast.......

I'll be sure to post photos when I'm done. 

Flashed glass is getting hard to find. We have to make our own version by fusing two glasses together in a kiln.

I've out of the field now for a number of years and haven't kept up- too bad the supply has dried up.....it was so versatile!  Have used a number of products from Rayzist and what used to be Photobrasive but kinda miss cutting mask by hand!
