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.



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.
