Justin,
Here's my take on your take on my take.
(My but this is getting confusing)
1. Why spend lots more money on glass when if you reuse them the sharp
corners of the broken glass bits are going to pit just as much as the
cheap sand it replaces?
2. I'm certainly no Meralurgic engineer, but If you use a moderately
fine grit of sand, the resulting pitting is minimal and far from causing
stress fractures. And I point out people have been using sand as a
blasting media on frames for years and that's the first time I have
heard that one.
3. Sand is a natural element whereas beads are not. You can do the
blasting outdoors and not worry about where the overspray goes. Just
filter the goo out and throw the residue on the back 40. Can't do that
with beads. (Please no EMAIL from environmentalists)
4. Are you sure you are not my son, whose name is Justin and who lives
in West LA?? He likes to argue a point (does not matter which side you
choose, he'll take the opposite perspective) just for the sake of
argueing. Whats more, he won't stop making points until his opponent
gives up and lets him have the last word. If you are, go to bed!!!
