try the finer media. its does a better job and you use less media per hour. I use 150lbs/hr with 50-100 and 200lbs/hr with 30-60 The DB is an awesome car. happy to hear another one is being saved.

Bill. re read your post. my 2 cents. 30 mesh (36 grit) is something i would use on a horrid semi truck frame (and i dont go that coarse). its not for automotive stuff. set it aside and find yourself some recycled glass. preferably in the 50-100 grit (45-100 mesh) or 30-60. 30-60 is the...

thank you. i have thought a couple times about doing a how to on the proper way to blast. techniques, medias, pressures ect. So much false info out there. i have blasted million dollar cars with perfect results. One of the cars i just did will ( if its done) be a headliner at Mcacn this...

tacoma guy is a wealth of his own info. he does not blast but is another guy who will tell you how to do it with experience he got from the internet. his stuff is all chinesium so the quality isnt great but its a great info to get all your own stuff. i think harbor freight was selling an...

tacoma company is hit and miss at the best of times and the owner is a dick, its easy to source everything out online with better made stuff for less money. i tell everybody that those cheap cabinets are awesome as soon as you throw away everything but the cabinet and start over. it is a huge...

i specialty blast for a living, so i get some cool stuff. Normally customers dont get the "try to get most of the grease off before you bring it" but no big deal. big thing is keeping the flying grease off the freshly blasted stuff. a quick reblast afterwards gets the rest off. try to...

$500? but anything. most are the same quality at that price. if you have the cfm (150+) and want to spent a bit more try to find a used clemco or modublast i have a small (100lb) uni-ram pot that i bought to use with a cabinet. it seemed to work ok but I use a $9000 pot everyday, big difference.

not a fan of any slag (copper or coal) too dirty and has trace arsenic in it from the refining process. it also has water issues (nobody has ever had their black sand pot plug up have they? lol) sand is a no-no too. I use glass on almost all of my stuff. grit depending on how rusty it is. I...

garnet (I assume you bought the brown/red stuff) has a MOH hardness of 7 to 8.3 and usually can go about 6-8 cycles before it starts breaking down. you will have better life out of it as its more aggressive and will take longer to break down to your 60 grit. (3-4 hours of straight blasting...

I own a media blasting business and have a bit of experience blasting. media's use what works for you. you may have some trail and error but you will get the hang of it. when I started my business I bought every single media I could find (in every grit) and figured out what worked best for...
