Default RE: Media Blasting Jets

Can you see them, right above your post? They are showing up on mine. Let me know if they are not showing up?

The first picture is obviously my "budget" blasting booth. The second picture is my first test with 80 grit aluminum oxide. The second pic is the glass bead. The underlying surface came out pretty much untouched with the glass bead. The third shot is of the f18 and I think it is a little tougher to get the paint off the 18 because it possibly could be a different brand of paint because it seems to be tougher to come off. The A-4 was painted with PPG and flat clear and seems to come off easier so I think I am going to try stepping it up to the 80 grit AO and see if I cant do an initial blast then smooth it out with the glass bead.
