Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Got back to work today. Trying to take Sundays off, but had to pressure wash the house yesterday.

The tailgate is ready for primer. I swapped out the header panel in the bed. It fit like a glove, I'm very impressed. Great job Mar-K.

Played with the sandblaster today. I started out with sand it worked great except some little rocks kept clogging the nozzle. The bag said screened, but needs to be screened a little smaller. After about 20 clogs I swapped over to the black diamond thinking this will be great. I guess the tip of the deadman valve isn't big enough for it to pass thru easily. It was more frustrating than the sand. I think if I can rescreen the sand it will work great. Yes I am wearing a respirator.

Got this much done with sand. It had already been blasted, but sitting for a while with no protection.

The lower right hand corner and some of the cross brace is all I got done with the black diamond.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00739.jpg

Here is how much material I used to do that. The black diamond is obvious. The regular sand on top is what I sprayed out. The pile on bottom is what I poured out when I switched over to the black. I plan on reusing it after I run it thru a screen.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

It makes a mess, huh. :pty:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

i always screen mine first just to make sure unless im using glass bead. you can recover that sand about 3 times but after that it will be to fine to deal with. I cut my recoverd with fresh sand somtimes to make it cut better.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

If your smart you'll do your blasting outside.;)

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

A little

Thanks for the info.

I'm not that smart.:lol: I have 3 bays at work. Since I don't have alot going on there I get in the middle stall and blast. I just have to sweep and I'm done.;)

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

That's smart mess up someone elses space. Keep your place nice and clean.:lol:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

I got a great deal on a 8X10 small spray booth with a ventilation fan and ducts. It was FREE. The guy said he was moving his business the next day, and it had to be gone or it would be trashed. So I immediately went down and got it. As soon as I can afford to pour a concrete slab I'll put it up. I plan on using it for sandblasting parts too big for the sand blast cabinet.

http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/610760873_2YHPp-M.jpg

The slab I want will go here, but want it 18X40 and will cover it with a car port to do the messy body work and not screw up the shop.

All I need now is $$$$ to finish it, and time. :lol:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Alan what size black diamond did you use? They do have 3 diffrent sizes.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

This has been a reoccurring thought subject and thought for me.

For those of you sandblasting in your garages and whatnot; have you thought about building a cleanroom out of 2x4's?
You'd need 8 or 12 if you wanted to seal the bottom
Buld a cube and get some clear drop cloths from wherever. You could use it over and over again and keep the sand out of everything. thoughts?

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

That's why I want to put up that FREE spray booth. I will make for easy clean up and reusing the media. :thumbs:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Those are some serious fans... don't take any pets or a toupee in there with ya..

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

NO SH*T. And small kids. You should see the motor that runs it. I don't think I'll install the fan, unless I start using as a spray booth. I have the filters and everything that came with it.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

sweet score.... how about i pay shipping and I take those off your hands....im just sayin.
