Re: Blasting gun

I have a little self-contained unit that catches (some of) the sand and recycles it back though the gun.

It is messy as hell.

I put a couple of guys in jail who were sandblasting the underside of a freeway overpass using crushed slag one time.

I was out running and it looked like black diesel smoke until it hit my eyes,(I wear contacts).

I was blind for a week.

I showed up at the county office which was one block from the TV station I worked for with a complete news crew.

They laughed at me for about a good 30 seconds and then the police and OSHA walked in and took the dude to Jail while I described the agony to the press.

I only mention this because sand blasting can be real destructive.
