I've just about got my sand blasting cabinet installed, albeit with a
really small compressor thus I understand I'll be limited to a really
really narrow blast path width until I can upgrade..
Based on my years restoring antique furniture I have to ask when the other
foot drops?
Say I have fender support on my Atomic Energy Commision Pickup.. its a bit
rusted, a bit dirty. very bumpy. I want to blast it and ' return it to
'new' ' before trying to bend the rest of the truck to allow it to be
bolted on again <G> ... This isn't a part that any one else sees so I
wouldn't mind if it's not perfect. However many of the parts I will have
to clean up will be parts the public sees.
Could anybody point me toward a guide to making things not only rust free
but also semi original? What type of paints or ... ' fillers ' are used? I
don't like the idea of fillers as most of the parts are metal on metal
suspension, steering, or even body parts and bondo in such applications
makes me cringe. I'd call the folks I bought the blasting cabinet from
however their customer service skills are reminiscent of Attila the
Hun's... :}
