Re: "Rice Rocket'

Ok, play sand doenst work in blaster. I paid 10$ per 100lbs. of blasting sand a a renting place. Bought 7 bags. Took 5 bags to do 2 trailing arms. WTF this is $$$ but they looked good bare metal (sorry no pics). I wiped em with laquer thinner then dried em and blew em off then painted wiht bedliner. Have pic on my phone but too tired to upload tonite. Took like 3 hrs on/off of blasting. Im going to try to filter the sand with a window screen and reuse it (why not?). Will blasting a baked on grease rearend cut thru grease and rust? I already put new oil/gasket in the rearend so its blast wipe paint. Not sure if ima try to get the truck outa the garage to blast the frame or just wirewheel it best I can. Really happy with bedliner so far. Have 1gallon saved for rearend/frame still. Thanks guys! More pics soon. Also, any advise on running my blazer tank filler thru the bed floor for time being? Any tips (floor fill is temp.)
