I just got my makeshift booth set up and picked up two bags of medium glass bead. Running it through the gun at about 90 psi with limited to no results on old fenders, wheels, etc. Emptied 2 or three jars (my gun has a feed can attached, about a quart size).
It seems like the bead is coming out okay, as soon it's all over me and the collection area, but there is no effect on the parts I'm attempting to blast. Any ideas? I think maybe the old paint and stuff is too tough and the glass bead is not aggressive enough. My gun is rated to 116 psi, and I finished at about 100 psi on my last attempt. Doesn't look like it has the ability to adjust flow of media though.
One thing I realized, I need a hood. A respirator and shop goggles didn't cut it. :roll:
Please let me know what you think and any advice. :?
