Re: Restoring Rusty

and then we were cooking with Propane!

pics a bit dark as we were in The Barn, I was borrowing The Seth air compressor as I am currently in between comressors, ie I aint got one

couple observations:

a water trap device in the air compressor line is a MUST, moist air is the enemy of the master blaster

media blasting leaves a different surface on the metal than a wire wheel, you would think a wire wheel is abrasive but media (and I know it depends on what type, but speaking strictly of glass bead) leaves a rough metal surface, a wire wheel does not, or not as much at all

decided to blast the core support as it has many twists and turns and zigs and zagz in it making it hard to navigate a wire wheel through it all
