Yep , just dump the bag of abrasive in the bucket and have at it , I have a pressure fed blasting tank and it clogged so many times I went to the jobsmart and it works , I set a up a tarp to blast against and reused the blast material over and over after straining debris from it . Just use the wheels to do large areas and blast the areas you can't easily reach , it works better using the fine (red bag) abrasive . and move anything away from your work area you don't want abrasive media on . NEVER USE PLAY SAND TO BLAST METAL, IT CAUSES SILICOSIS in your lungs !

Silicosis is a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling large amounts of crystalline silica dust, usually over many years. Silica is a substance naturally found in certain types of stone, rock, sand and clay. Working with these materials can create a very fine dust that can be easily inhaled.
