Right, im thinking of gettin myself another compressor early next year ( i stupidly sold mine due to lack of cash ) to blast my car engine parts clean before i start to polish them.
When i had my other compressor i was using aliminuin oxide grit to clean em down, which was great. But as ali oxide turns your workpeice into a a dull grey surface.
Of which i then have to sand back down to get the metal surface to come back through.
So my fella polishers, my question is..............
What would be the best blast media to use, that WONT turn my workpiece into a rough dull grey surface which i have to sand back anyway
??
Ive been told that Glass Beading would be good for me, but i dont know what it is, or how the finish from blasting would differ from ali oxide as i cant find any video's of a glass beaded item.
SO, can anyone help and advise please.
Im pretty happy with the results of work i CAN get, but want to progress next year, finding all the right toolds, and media and stuff to set up my garage properly instead of a ****ty mess of a shed so in the near future i can get my work done quicker, without the quality suffering, so i can at some point, go full time and hopefully turn this into a fully fledged business.
