Quick question, how do you store sand for sandblasting so it doesn't get full of moisture? I was hoping to have a pile of sand that I can just refill the blaster from laying around. But once it's wet

Quoting Eric@megageek.com: I use 5 gal pails with lids. Drywall compound type. Stop by a house under construction and you should be able to find plenty for free. Eric Russell Mebane, NC

I keep mine in a trash can. To dry wet sand, I put it in the wheelbarrow and set it out in the sun for a few hours.

Another great source for buckets like this is cat litter buckets... About the only good thing related to cat litter boxes... :-) Mark

You can also buy nice new, clean 5 gallon pails with lids at Home Depot for around $5. I'm sure other places have them too... Tim Mullen

As others have described, I use both the drywall pails and cat litter buckets. But the real key to my success is that for outdoor pressure blasting, I use sand from a construction supplier. Really ch

However, the ones I've seen at Home Depot don't have air-tight lids. I use the buckets that my pool chemical comes in ... they have screw-on lids with a gasket to seal in the chlorine fumes. Randall

Hi Inch, I used to use a couple of 55 gal. drums, that I found with gasketed lids. I had an old vacuum pump at the time so I put a couple fittings on the lids and drew a fair bit of vacuum on each to

The one I bought a couple of months ago does. The orange Home Depot Bucket for about $4, and the orange lid - complete with the rubber seal - for $1.50. I had to search a bit to find the lids as they

Let me tell ya, after I saw those buckets at HD, I determined that I could never bring myself to buy a bucket just like the ones I got for free after using up the drywall compound on my house additio

I wasn't happy about buying one, but the only free ones I seem to find have so much gunk in them, that they are not worth the cost/bother to clean them. I haven't had to do a lot of drywall work, so

I don't know if this is an urban construction legend, but I've been told that during construction, if the plumbing is not yet operational, the workers have been known to use these pails "when nature

You must not have a tractor, or painted the outside of your house lately. Between buying house paint, tractor hydraulic fluid, gear oil and diesel motor oil, I have lots of five gallon buckets. Anoth
