Thanks! I use Sterling Sand brand #45 grit from a local concrete/block company that comes in 50 pound bags. The blaster is an older Tip brand pressure pot blaster, I think it holds 75 or 100 pounds. Works great, pressure pot is much faster than gravity fed blasters! I only use it outdoors, with a full paintsuit and respirator since it's silica sand.
