#3, if you can get them, classifier screens that are used for gold prospecting work PERFECT for cleaning your media. They fit into a five gallon bucket and allow you to pour your dirty media into them and it classifies the large junk out.

Good suggestions! I haven't done this yet but I found this (Link) it's an upgrade kit for the Harbor Frieght blast cabinet. The kit comes with a better gun and better pickup up tube (american made) and you can order the replacement parts easily. I haven't bought it yet but it's on my Christmas wish list. The best thing I did to ensure a good running cabinet was to keep the air pressure high and keep a water separator on the air line.
