sand blaster advice for working on my 60 stepper
I tried asking in paint and body no reply. But I bought this blaster kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/170693975294...84.m1439.l2649
got it and some fine black beauty blast sand. Problem Im havibng is it sprays for about 2 seconds then stops. I can let off of the trigger and re pull it and get another 2 seconds over and over but it wont keep a continuous spray. Ive tried the putting the pickup tube in the top of a bucket, and near the bottom sideways. |

Re: sand blaster advice for working on my 60 stepper
Im starting to think along the lines of the sand not being fine enough. A little thinking has me believing that it starts fine then bigger pieces hit it and it clogs, I get off of the trigger and it clears rinse and repeat. Ill try finer sand. Thnx guys.

Do you ahve a drier in line? Dry air is real important with a sandblaster I run 2 one at my compressor and one before it goes into my sandblaster. I also drain my compressor before I start. You can buy driers at HF.
