Sandblast Abrasive
Anyone have a recommendation for the best material to use on a frame and underside of my cab. I ordered a pressure type blaster, yesterday, and will be using 3/32" or 1/8" nozzles.
I would like to buy in bulk (not 60lb bags) from my local sand & gravel supplier. In the past, I have used "white sand" purchase at the lumber store in 80lb bags. I am wondering about using "mason's sand" or something similiar. I do not plan on spending alot of time recovering what is used due to the need to sift, etc. This is a large project and I will be working outdoors. |

I used play sand, like for a sand box, I think it was 2 bucks & change for a 50 lb bag. Worked great.

I have tried the cheap method and used play sand. I found it was too much work to screen it before putting in the blaster. I usually just buy a couple bags of silica sand and recycle it a couple times. Remember to wear a respirator.
