Hey all,

I have a stand-up HF blast cabinet pushed by a single stage Porter Cable 80=
-gallon compressor. The compressor runs almost constantly but keeps up just=
 fine. My air is not the driest but I rarely see moisture being blasted on =
to the metal unless it is summer and more humid.

I am currently using "black blast" from Menards on a 50+ year old drive sha=
ft. It is rusty but is coming clean relatively easy....kinda....

My issue is I get about 20-45 second of real good and quick cleaning/blasti=
ng then the stream coming out of the nozzle seems to get weaker and not hav=
e much if any media in it. If I clean the intake, it works fine again for a=
 little bit, then get less effective again.

Clearing the intake is easy enough but slows down the process. (this is qui=
te the PITA when the temps are in the 20s or lower.)

Thought on why I have to keep clearing the intake?

Thanks
tim
