Re: What is the best abrasive media to use?
I don't know, I just wrote the name down on the bag. But I just googled it and it seems quite widely available.

Re: What is the best abrasive media to use?
Okay, thanks. I looked it up, but I couldn't find many places that would sell one bag.

Re: What is the best abrasive media to use?
I am not a blaster but I have hired one several times.
I think sand is OK on frame and radiator core support. I think my blaster uses "crushed glass" on the body panels. I do know sand on body panels destroys the metal through warping. |

Re: What is the best abrasive media to use?
I've been useing crushed glass.
There is a local company that buys up all the recycled glass in the area and refines it. They are a supplier too Eastwood but Eastwood breaks down the 50# bags and relabels it as their own and sells a jug for many times the amount of a bag. A 50# bag cost me $6.00 at the door. The problem comes where the company has changed names at least 4 times since I've been going there. And it's been over a yr. Since I've been there but the last name they went by was LVI industries. Recycled glass cuts ok but it does break down quickly. for the price I can't complain.
