Default Sandblasting media

I made a blasting cabinet for $300 . Check it out in Army Motors #125 . This is the best one I have ever seen . It is made out of an old truck sleeper . I put a hopper under it and it is on small wheels can be moved easily out of your way or shared with another person . I use my shop vac with a long hose so it is outside ,because of the noise. There is a fine screen that catches most of the dirt and paint that I vacume up ,and when it is too bad I can open the bottom and reclean the blasting material . I use glass beads (4) bags . This will do things 7 ft long .You can get plastic window cover to cover your window to stop it from getting blasted up from Princes Auto .We have done wheels ,heads, fenders ,doors .ect. The old truck sleepers can be bought for $20 and the only thing you have to do is make two holes for the hand gloves .put a plastic window over the hole that the driver used to get into it , a screen on the bottom and some lights .I might add that if you sodablast be sure you clean off the soda as it will cause rusting when it gets wet and forms an asid .If any one needs more info EM me
