RE: Engine Cleaning Problem - uh oh
Most industrial supply places have the same cabinet (table top, about 24" wide, 16" tall and 20" deep) in various brand names, they are all made at the same factory in Taiwan I think... Comes with the gun, and a few nozzles.
I use the smallest nozzle of the three, and the pressure at 90 psi. The glass beads (or fine silica - same difference) was the finest I could buy, at the local supply place also, and it was a 10 or 20 pound bag, enough for many refills of the cabinet.
I modified mine a bit - first I taped up all the seams with aluminum duct tape to make it 100% airtight. Then, instead of having the chincy air filter that clogs up with the media (glass, sand, whatever) in a few minutes, I made an adapter to hook up my shop vac (large one) to the exhaust hole. I put a small spacer under the lid, so there is about a 1/16th space between the lid and the seal. Turn on the shop vac, and then blast away! The vac will cause a bit of negative pressure in the cabinet, and the air will rush into the cab under the lid glass, even when you are runnign the gun continuosly. It makes it a breeze to use, and no glass beads/sand get anywhere else but either stay in the cabinet or go into the vacuum.
