Hey TB,Thanks for your reply. Maybe you can find aluminum oxide online......maybe Ebay?

I've been searching for a media blaster. There are a lot and most are reasonably priced too. BUT what I find now is that I need to buy a 5 HP compressor to run it. Have you priced 5 HP compressors lately?
Before I set up the new Triple Plate kit I received today I'm going to have to try to figure out how to clean the pits of my pot metal bezels without media blasting.

This is getting pricey !
Thanks again TB !
