Re: [TR] Media blasting?

["Wbeech" <wbeech@flash.net>]

I have a nice cabinet that came from Eastwood, I think it was about $300.
It is molded plastic, very thick and sturdy and no leaks.   The only mod I
made was to add some extra lighting as the single bulb was not enough for my
old eyes.  I use the glass beads from HF, does a great job.

I agree with Jonas, why invest in the gear for the big job that you will
only use once or twice.  I just had my TR3 frame sandblasted, $180.00.  By
contrast, I use the cabinet all the time for all the little rusted bits on
the restoration, tools and garage sale finds.

NFI,
Bill

I have a blast cabinet from harbor freight that works just fine, for small
stuff (up to the size of a wire wheel)  although their media is pricy.

As to big stuff, make sure you have a lot of space, far away from your house
and proper gear to keep it off you.

Soda blasting is all the rage, but all I can comment on is what a mess it
makes.

I sent my last project (AH 3000) to a specialist and had it back in 4 days
for $800 - money well spent.
