Thanks for the feedback from a few people.  Stopped off
at the industrial supply house to pick up some larger glass
beads:

Size ranges from BF4 to BF13.  (Course to fine).  The BF13
is so fine it feels like corn starch!



> What, where is "Enco" ?   

>From the rec.crafts.metalworking FAQ: 

    This FAQ is also available via anonymous ftp to plains.uwyo.edu,
    in the METAL directory. 

   -  Enco Manufacturing Co.
      13 stocking locations, main site in Chicago, IL (addresses not handy now)
      800-860-3400 (24 hr orders, automatically routes to closest location)
      800-860-3500 (fax, also auto routes)
      Credit cards, COD's up to $500, discount for pre-pay by check
      $25 minimum order
      Customer service & Chicago showroom M-F 7-midnight CST,

      Lathes, milling machines, etc, from small to large NC machines.
      Hand tools, cutting tools, storage cabinets, shop supplies
      Maker (not just distributer) of turret bed lathes.

      However, many net folks have reported that quality and service are
      between awful and terrible (this author included), and that Enco is
      to be avoided.  This is not a unanimous opinion, but close.
