What kind of media do you use for sandblasting?

**NickiX** · 02-15-2012, 10:56 PM

Thats a good question carter_22. I would use 80 grit glass bead media for a natural aluminium finish.

**Carter_22** · 02-15-2012, 11:02 PM

What about organic compounds?

**NickiX** · 02-15-2012, 11:05 PM

well theres walnut but its not abrassive enough for a proper finish.

hmm thanks, GLWS. I'll keep you in mind if I ever need to sand blast an entire engine or something!

Bad idea. All those little particles will essentially ruin an engine. You would let it cook in a hot tank over a weekend and have it looking awesome.

Yeah, didn't actually mean throwing a whole engine in the blasting cabinet. I'm not from Oregun.
