Hi all,
I'm looking for some sand blasting advice. What media do you recommend, and how can I avoid warppage? What do you recommend to coat the sandblasted metal with? I purchased a 20lbs HF sand blaster and I'm planning on doing this myself |

I mostly use glass beads which can be had at HF at a decent price (remember coupon--they carry other media as well). I've discovered that it is a slow process when trying to remove the original paint (parts mostly) so a more agressive media would be better for larger areas. Hope you have a compressor with a decent CFM output or you will be frustrated.
Have fun, Keith |
