Mostly, you need a really big-arse air compressor. Most home shop compressors
just don't cut it. You really need a 208V-230V 5-7 HP compressor to do
anything but *very* small work. Anyway, I like to have both glass beads and
aluminum oxide. Grainger sells them all in 5 gal buckets. There's also good
information on blasting media at Eastwood.
