Hi Steve, I get it at a what used to be Central Tractor. They were bought out by someone but I can't remember the name off hand. Also can't remember the grit. I do my blasting at the body shop that's

Bob, avoid sand completely, if you need media that cuts that deep and that hard then use "black beauty", 150 lbs for $8.00 and not as harmful health wise. I only use black beauty on very rusty exhaus

I have found that some rental places rent sandblasting equipment. Those that do, will also carry some abrasives. Not necessarily a lot of selection though. Mine carries black beauty.

Bob, I've been using sand for years. And yes, you have to be very carful of it as it WILL kill you. I don't use my external air supply (but probably should). However, I do wear a 2 canister mask when

Rain will kill you if you stare up at it enough to drown yourself. This is the same sand that is on the beaches, and just as deadly, or safe, depending on your perspective. The issue is lung function

If the cabinet is sealed, and the ventilation system keeps the fine particulate dust away from the operator, you're in no danger. A shop vac in the basement would not be particularly effective at con
