Loving this gun...

Finally found the correct blaster/media and the alu parts turn out nicely.

Looks great, but after all that you're not going to share the tools/media you used?!?

[diegom6]

Sure, it's a cheap plastic cabinet (modified by me) using 100PSI with glass bead media :)

I used soda baking at first, but two problems:

a) Makes a ton of dust, even with a dust collector connected in the cabbinet is difficult to see

b) The finish is dull, matte compared to the glass bead which leave the aluminum more natural finish and shinear.

I came here expecting the lead launching type gun...


THose parts look good! I need to get a blaster setup

Looks like a similar finish to vapor blasting, but doesn't quite have the luster.

I tried in a spot with more time blasting that parts and resulted in a more "luster" finish or shinear, but wet blasting should be the ultimate resource for this goal. But that won't happen, it's expensive equipment.

The shineast it can get...w/o going crazy over blasting in the same area for long time.
