Hi Steve,

I get it at a what used to be Central Tractor. They were bought out by
someone but I can't remember the name off hand. Also can't remember the
grit. I do my blasting at the body shop that's going my LBC and the
glass beads are over there. I expect I'll be there some time this week.
Sorry.

The body shop owner had never used glass beads before. After I bought
some he will not use anything else. It is expensive and we only use it
in a blast cabinet. $30.00 for 50# or something like that.

The parts come out smooth and ready to paint. I think he justifies the
additional cost by the time savings.
