What size compressor practice I need with this? Will these two together do the task? https://www.harborfreight.com/110-lb-pressurized-abrasive-blaster-69724.html https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/air-compre...67847.html Bobnotch wrote: JayC wrote: Hi, I have been contemplating getting this aforementioned setup to do the blasting on my pan (currently the body is off a 73 Thing).

And here it's been epoxy primed, painted AND clear coated. Over kill? I don't think so. I used 10 - 50 lb bags of fine "sandblasting" sand that I got from my local lumber yard, just on the lesser of the pan. Hard disk and Lowe's sells the same stuff for around three.50 per bag. Works damn expert, and you don't burn thru equally many tips as you exercise with the more course sand. Note; I didn't recycle any of it, as I'm working on a "country fill" project right in that location. And yep, that'south my front yard, where I'm doing the diggings.

Ghiaguy, y'all should be able to get information technology done w/ the compressor yous accept, but y'all may take to cease & await for the compressor to take hold of up, every few minutes. At that place are some mod videos on Youtube that actually brand the HF blaster a decent unit. I know it sucks having to change a piece of equipment that y'all only bought merely sometimes it helps. I piece of work in R&D developing HVAC equipment and we are owned past the Japanese and trust me, they exercise the same thing. Observe a way to make the unit cheaper but nevertheless work. Now whether information technology works efficiently that's a different story. _________________ -Jared "Scrapyards are for quitters" - Beetlenut (a Samba member)

My HF sandblaster worked well as well, after the modifications listed higher up. Went through tips fast. I stale the air with a 5 gallon bucket of water ice with a copper section of my air line coiled up in it and it solved my clogging issues during the hot boiling summertime months. Brian Z

I still had to become the sand off information technology, and roll information technology dorsum into the store, so I could epoxy prime it that dark. I painted it the adjacent twenty-four hours. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof 71 Notch ...aka Krunchy; build pics hither; http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249390 -been busy working 64 T-34 Ghia...aka Wolfie, nether construction... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=412120 Tram wrote: "Friends are God's way of apologizing for relatives."

I cannot speak to the glass chaplet as a media choice. I used a production I found at a local blast media supplier chosen Kleen Boom which worked actually well. I just finished blasting my chassis superlative and bottom and a border of about two inches around the pans. I accept to remove and replace the pans then I did not bother blasting them completely. Information technology took three hundred pounds of media. I could have done it with half that if I had recycled the media once simply information technology wasn't worth the hassle. I simply paid $nine.97 per 100lb bag. Equally for the dust... depending on how close those neighbors are you may want to consider trying to contain it. I bought an cheap canopy that was 10x20 and then bought some 6mil plastic at Lowes and cut information technology to make walls. Based on the amount of dust that gathered on both the walls and my clothes I am certain my neighbors would not have been happy with me had I not contained information technology. Remember to get a proper mask and good luck!

Hi, I have been contemplating getting this same setup to practice the blasting on my pan (currently the body is off a 73 Thing). I accept been working on information technology with flapper wheels and wire brushes, but it is very slow and doesn't become it as dainty as parts I accept blasted. I have a blast cabinet and love it for minor parts. I accept a couple of questions that I am hoping some knowledgeable people can guide me on. I think I would utilise 80 grit glass beads for the media. Would this be sufficient for removing original cistron paint and some pocket-sized rust pitting? Whatever idea, roughly, how much material would be required (I won't ask how much paint I will need ) How much of a mess does this make if you practice it outside? I accept a flat concrete pad in the dorsum yard, subconscious past a fence and surrounded by rocks. Am I going to totally annoy my neighbors (I like most of them)? The last cease will be primer and the chassis black. Is this over kill? Not a show car, but I desire it to expect nice. Appreciate the guidance. jay

I like cheap grinding shields from a welder supply store. You can replace just the face piece for most $five. Goggles and respirator nether that. I kind of agree with Brent, in that set upwardly won't keep the sand out, and volition pit the hell out of the lense making information technology useless in a short time. I use goggles and a respirator under a hood though (keeps almost of the sand out). I've got HF's twenty lb equalizer (information technology'll just hold a 50 lb bag of sand) that I've used on many projects and then far. I've had it 3 years now. Just I also utilize a better blasting hood than HF supplies, and use their inexpensive grinding shields for making lenses with (I get 4 out of shield). I'll go thru a lense after iii to 4 bags of sand, which lasts a little over a 1/2 60 minutes of steady not-stop blasting. So far I've worn out 2 valves (sand ate them), and replaced them with new gas line valves (I accept a spare valve at present for when it gets worn out). The get-go to go was the one at the end of the hose, while the second one was the tank valve. I only replaced the tank valve, as the other valve doesn't exercise much. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof 71 Notch ...aka Krunchy; build pics here; http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249390 -been busy working 64 T-34 Ghia...aka Wolfie, nether construction... http://world wide web.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=412120 Tram wrote: "Friends are God's mode of apologizing for relatives."

When using a pressure level sand blaster you should open the air supply valve fully (top of tank). Open the gun valve fully & then regulate the amount of sand coming out by the valve on the lesser of the tank. If you lot regulate with the gun valve it will wear chop-chop equally stated earlier. Play sand ordinarily has wet which leads to bottleneck & also if your compressor puts out a lot of h2o you should get a seperator earlier the blaster. Wear a respirator as silicosis is very bad. If y'all blast on a tarp or bulldoze y'all can reuse the sand if you sift it. A window screen works well. Information technology volition get effectively & finer each time y'all utilize information technology. When using sand on body panels information technology can warp them. Always become at an angle instead of direct on. _________________ Mic 1959 356 coupe Missing the original engine 72488 Update - third pc. found! Now just need the case halves. 1965 fenderless beetle
