Sand-blast vs Wire-wheel

i agree with res. i have an 80 gallon tank with a 2 cylinder, dual phase air compressor...that thing will go off, catch up and fill the tank, and turn off, while I am still blasting!!! LOL

My blast cabinet is large enough to blast an entire fender.

I use aluminum oxide, black garnet, plastic, and also glass beads...
i like the plastic, its nearly harmless, and it takes away paint and bondo, but does not remove rust. i then switch to a mix of "worn out" (or used) aluminum oxide and glass bead to take off the rust....works great for me....

never use that "playground" sand.....that stuff IS DANGEROUS....DO NOT breathe that dust it puts off!
