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.

It makes a mess, huh.

70 Suburban · 08-03-2009, 10:27 PM

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.

daverod · 08-03-2009, 11:11 PM

If your smart you'll do your blasting outside.

I'm not that smart.

I have 3 bays at work. Since I don't have alot going on there I get in the middle stall and blast. I just have to sweep and I'm done.

daverod · 08-03-2009, 11:25 PM

That's smart mess up someone elses space. Keep your place nice and clean.

I got a great deal on a 8X10 small spray booth with a ventilation fan and ducts. It was FREE. The guy said he was moving his business the next day, and it had to be gone or it would be trashed. So I immediately went down and got it. As soon as I can afford to pour a concrete slab I'll put it up. I plan on using it for sandblasting parts too big for the sand blast cabinet.

The slab I want will go here, but want it 18X40 and will cover it with a car port to do the messy body work and not screw up the shop.

All I need now is $$$$ to finish it, and time.

ruffrida2005 · 08-04-2009, 01:49 PM

Alan what size black diamond did you use? They do have 3 diffrent sizes.

hAetWagon · 08-04-2009, 02:47 PM

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?

That's why I want to put up that FREE spray booth. I will make for easy clean up and reusing the media.

NO SH*T. And small kids. You should see the motor that runs it. I don't think I'll install the fan, unless I start using as a spray booth. I have the filters and everything that came with it.

70 Suburban · 08-04-2009, 07:40 PM

sweet score.... how about i pay shipping and I take those off your hands....im just sayin.

Strodder · 08-04-2009, 07:49 PM

70 Suburban · 08-04-2009, 07:52 PM

Our porter doesn't know how to operate a broom. It's a sad situation.

Sifted the sand and black diamond and mixed it together. It worked like a champ. until I ran out of sand.

This is a mean little stripper.

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.

Primed tailgate

Almost got the Tailgate blocked today

Posting more in a minute

ruffrida2005 · 08-05-2009, 09:14 PM

198plus · 08-05-2009, 09:27 PM

198plus · 08-05-2009, 09:38 PM

jsmithbm · 08-05-2009, 09:50 PM

SWEET! getting closer every day. i know 198 is getting excited.
Sad thing about the porter, They've got an opening for a body man down here, heck he'd fit in here, they cant do body work either!!! ahahaha

4dranch · 08-06-2009, 06:57 AM

As always Alan, real nice work. Moving right along.....is the wire wheel on your angle grinder?
