Ya want to be careful with a really effective sand blaster. the sand 
striking the metal can embrittle the metal causing future cracks. Also some 
have warned about the heat caused by blasting warping sheat metal. My only 
misfortune with a blaster is to blast the toe of my boot, which ruined the 
finish but fortunately not my toe.
