Re: A few questions from those that know.
Thanks Charles.
Any info from those who know is always helpful and very much appreciated. I spent 30 years as a Locomotive Engineer and was always offering info to those who didn't know in hopes of keeping them from running out in front of trains and live to see another day.
Not that this isn't as dangerous, but then maybe. As for media, I have used and still do use Black Magic (recycled many times), which seems to give me that surface that is acceptable for powder. I do not blast anything that has not be throughly cleaned. No grease in my media. Don't use plastic or soda for blasting. As for the cleaning, I don't currently have a heated tank for dipping, which, as times goes by will be put into service for cleaning and adding running water to my shop as well. As for rust forming, it varies in Northern Indiana, but got your drift.
Nitrile gloves I have and No I don't and won't touch a fresh blasted part, bare handed. So, I have learned some things from here. Many thanks to all.
