Default blasting CAUTION

During the restoration of my C8 , I purchased a ex Govt. trailered compressor , a modified VW engine type .

I spent many hours blasting the chassis , axles, wheels and all the other bits .


A word of caution :
I ended up with damaged hearing , tinitis , I now have a permanent loud ringing tone in my ears that drives me crazy and affects my sleep . There is no cure for this, once you have it , you have it for rest of your life .

I learnt the hard way that playing with big toys can really hurt you . SO BE CAREFUL.

My advice is to use a cabinet for the smaller bits and take your chassis and wheels etc. to a professional .



Mike
