Nozzle Size Question.

Betterblast

If I go down a size from a 5 to a 4 for blasting soda will I save on usage or just get less work done for the extra hang time I might get?

Glen, I just try'd this two days ago on a boat, With Soda...

Tried 4, 5, 7, 8

4 worked good for a smaller jobs, compressor didn't barly kick up, thought it was a little slow. (but was doing a large area)

5 was also good, better than 4 but still a bit slow.

7 seemed to give the best psi, patteren and time.

8 was wasting grit, psi drop, compressor running on high end.

Could be different on a car or other project.

I have a nozzle from a cabnet blast gun. sized it up to fit hose. this works good for really small areas or detail blasting (Pencel Blasting)

I figured an 8 would be too much but I did get a 7. I think I'll try the next boat one side with a 5 and empty the pot and refill to do the side with the seven and make sure to check the time and lbs. It'l be interesting to see the difference.

Glen, I'm running a 185 at 100psi

if your compressor is bigger than an 8 might do fine.
