Re: Grit Sizes Wtf
The 0.3 - 0.8 stuff is that the same size as what you were using?

Re: Grit Sizes Wtf
No aftercooler yet, got a boat to do tomorrow (with soda) I'm not sure if the ASB media valve will take the glass, I don't know what steel is inside them ? glass might grind it away, it's pointless asking them, they will only tell me to use soda through the valve, ABS has more secrets then the CIA

Re: Grit Sizes WtfQuote:
yea them blokes are like that if you read there website carefully they do say they that you can put other media through there pots but then they have a big write up on why would you want to so you would be covered by a warranty if it did chew it out it would have to be made from some weak **** not to stand up to glass. Have you blasted the gel coat on a boat before? What size nozzle do you use? |

Re: Grit Sizes Wtf
Yer, done a couple of boats, I have been using a #4 nozzle @100psi but tomorrow I will try the #5 @ 90psi (due to air requirements) and I will turn up the media up a bit, have to get this one done as quick as possible.
Because ASB only recommend using soda through their gear they only use a mild steel nozzle's not tungsten or any thing like that, but I will still run some glass through it to try it out |
