Was wondering what i should buy to shoot through it to clean up my tractors before i paint them? [Reply]   [No Email]

Use the 40/80 stuff to avoid clogging. Obviously use a good respirator no matter what you use but I'd still be real careful about using regular "sand" - read up on silcosis before you do that, so at least you'll be informed. Keep in mind too that there's probably worse things in the paint you're removing! [Reply]  [No Email]

The sand has some aggregate too large to use with the sandblaster so I have a wooden box with screen wire on the bottom to sift it. When I sand blast I put down some polyethylene plastic to catch and reuse as much of the sand as possible. I then use the sifter box to clean the used sand. [Reply]  [No Email]
