Playing in the Sand

 Oooer!


I'm going to enjoy playing with my new toy - a Sealey sandblaster obtained on Facebook Market.

Currently it has a rather coarse grit in it which was used for derusting a truck. I'm not too familiar with the different grit sizes for sandblasting, so I'll need to do some research before blasting massive holes in everything - and get suitable PPE.

I've been watching some YouTube videos on different media and the consensus seems to be that sifted play sand is much, much cheaper than commercially available media, such as aluminium oxide, although perhaps not as effective. However, one has be well protected from breathing in any silica dust.

Will have to make a trip to a nice beach with fine sand in the motorhome.
