If you press your hand over the outlet of the blaster it will force the ai=
r back down the pick-up tube and clear whatever is blocking the inlet.
Takes one second.

#yiv4206507883 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Hey all,=C2=A0
I have a stand-up HF blast cabinet pushed by a single stage Porter Cable 80=
-gallon compressor. The compressor runs almost constantly but keeps up just=
fine. My air is not the driest but I rarely see moisture being blasted on =
to the metal unless it is summer and more humid.
I am currently using "black blast" from Menards on a 50+ year old drive sha=
ft. It is rusty but is coming clean relatively easy....kinda....=C2=A0
My issue is I get about 20-45 second of real good and quick cleaning/blasti=
ng then the stream coming out of the nozzle seems to get weaker and not hav=
e much if any media in it. If I clean the intake, it works fine again for a=
little bit, then get less effective again.=C2=A0
Clearing the intake is easy enough but slows down the process. (this is qui=
te the PITA when the temps are in the 20s or lower.)
Thought on why I have to keep clearing the intake?=C2=A0
Thankstim
