HF sandblaster

what if you mount the hopper to the compressor? the jiggling of the compressor may be enough to keep it flowing? Maybe put a 1oz weight on the flywheel to really get it bucking.....I used a $5 HF siphon hose blow gun in a bag of sand and did a rim once, sand everywhere! I was wearing a respirator....the gun rusted out in a matter of days. Did I mention it was 5 bucks? probably would have lasted longer using dry media and dry air but....it was 5 bucks.
