i ended up taking the pressure blaster back, it was a POS and the blow valve was leaking and the pressure adjustment valve didn't work at all.

so i got a 50lb siphon model. it works PERFECT!! the compress does perfectly fine, never looses pressure and keeps up fine. the cfm is perfect 6 cfm and 90psi on the tank and that is what the blaster requires. ;0) perfect match.

i blasted on the of the fresh air vents tonight and it took the whole jug, but it was sooooooo clean and it only took me about 10 minutes to do it. i didn't find it teadious at all, it was fun and it was WAY quicker than my wire brush and it got into places i couldn't with the brush.

i used steel grit. no warping, no pitting, no silica to worry about breathing, leaves a perfect smooth finish on the metal, perfect for painting. just look at the pics of my cabinet it is perfect for what i needed it for. if anyone wants to duplicate just ask and i will tell you what i did.

look at the difference in the freshly cleaned part and the part under it....that was what it looked like when i started and what it looked like when i was done.

i am sooooo happy!

later,

Hank
