Need solvent, blast media & pressure regulator
Hey everybody!! Last night we spent a hour putting the HF blast cabinet together. We also have an old Clarke solvent tank, that we picked up on the cheap(haven't tested the pump yet).
I am looking for recommendations on what solvent to put in the parts washer and what kind of blast media to put in the cabinet. I know you can't get the old Safety Kleen solvent anymore, but there has got to be something that I can pick up local that does a decent job?
As far as blast media, we are just looking for something for general blasting. For example, today I would like to clean up my timing cover in the solvent tank and blast the old paint off of it. What should I use??
Also, I'm looking for a recommendation on a good cheap regulator/drier for the air lines. My buddy wants to go back to HF and buy their cheap one for $20, but I'm trying to talk him into stepping up and buying something a little nicer like this one from Sears for $40.
This isn't going into a commercial shop, just an old barn where two guys like to drink beer and work on their cars. Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide. I can't wait to start blasting things today!!!
