I used that black coal residue blasting media. It comes in coarse and
fine grade. I used the fine. It is cheap so you can blast outdoors and
not have to worry about media recovery.
My outdoor blaster also came from Sears. It works very good but you have
to keep the media very dry.
I setup one of those portable garages and covered the sides with plastic
used for painting. Very cheap at Lowes. That way, all the dust stays in
the tent and wont bother your neighbors.
If you do choose to blast out doors, get one of those blasting hoods +
always wear a good dust respirator and a good set of gloves. Best to
also wear overalls from head to toe. That media gets everywhere!
