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. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00737.jpg 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. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00740.jpg |

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
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? |

Sifted the sand and black diamond and mixed it together. It worked like a champ. until I ran out of sand. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00741.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00742.jpg This is a mean little stripper. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00757.jpg I figured I'd try it on the bed cross braces since they are covered with undercoating or something similiar. It takes longer to blast these items. In the pic you can see the left side was the sand blaster and the right was the wire wheel. The wire wheel didn't do crap. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00758.jpg Primed tailgate http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00743.jpg Almost got the Tailgate blocked today http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00748.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00756.jpg Posting more in a minute |
