    Case study

    Incredible control, minimal dust and noticeably lower consumption

    The owner of Metal Revival in Columbia, Tennessee in USA has been using crushed glass for his wood and metal restoration projects for four years. However, the limitations to using glass abrasives caused him to try GMA Garnet abrasives.

    “I couldn’t believe the control I had. It flows through my fingers like liquid yet generates minimal dust when blasting. The abrasive consumption was noticeably lower compared to glass abrasives. I’m sold on GMA Garnet™.”
