Hi guys, a quick question:
I've got a pressurized sandblaster from Harbor Freight, and a compressor
which seems to be up to the task of driving it. But, I'm wondering if you
all have any suggestions as to what I ought to blast with.
Up until now, the best thing I've found is a brand of "play-sand",
available at a local hardware store. I've found that the brand does matter-
the "play-sand" at the local Home Depot wasn't nearly uniform enough,
causing all sorts of clogging problems.
Even the best stuff I found still causes me lots of woes. Either the tip
or the outlet valve (out of the tank) clogs very regularly. I'm lucky to
get more that ~15s of blasting in before having to go unclog something.
There has to be a better way.
What do you guys use, and where do you get it?
Thanks-
Ryan.
Oh yeah: my applicaions range from stripping multi-layers of paint from body
panels to cleaning rust off of heavy metal.
