Sandblasting ABS Spacebar
« on: Fri, 24 January 2014, 09:16:12 »
Has anyone sandblasted their Topre spacebar? I've heard people mention it but couldn't find any actual results.

A similar question was asked yesterday in the Simple Questions thread. I provided a bunch of links so the person who asked could have some reading material. In particular, you might like ripster's guide since he shows step-by-step how he sandblasted caps. It's the imgur link.
