I finished blasting the corners. I used fine grade walut shells as opposed to sand. I just found out about the silica hazzard of sand. I hope I didn't get too much exposure.

I was blasting outside, with a respirator on, and a blasting hood over that. Hopefully that minimized any deadly exposure to the silica dust. Ugh!

Anyway, I treated the underside of the hood with a rust converter. I'll etch prime it tomorrow.
