Well here is my steps and my 1st PC Part!!! It is a air cooling tube for a V6 Fiero. I think it came out real nice for my first try. I did manage to discover that PC will not fill in scratches very well I also did not notice any Outgassing at all! I used Gloss Black Powder. Well Here are the Pic's

Here is the tube sanded and cleaned ready to be blasted. I found out playground sand works real well for cleaning but sucks for stripping!

My Infamous Folding Blast cabinet ready to go!

The part after the blast cabinet in the booth waiting on my sorry butt to get set up!

And My Folding Spray Booth ready for action!

Man, parts look fuzzy after getting coated!

Or is that just my crappy camera??

Here it is in my NON-FOLDING oven just before being removed.

And here it is cooling. I love it, it came out 10000x better than when I started and it was real simple! plus did not tak a whole lot of time, well It took me a long time as I am still learning

And I also made a Folding PArts Arm to hold the parts!

He's serious about the play sand Noob2pc. Do a google on silicosis. The bi*** of it is, by the time you notice the symtoms <sp?>, its too late. Its a problem that propogates itself over time. Small cough now, can't breathe in 5 years... PS. If you can smell the sand, you're f****** up (just my 2 cents, think about it)

I am trying to find a source for glass beads and Alum Oxide here in town . I used a mask and a extration system for the blast cabinet. I figure using play sand 3 times will not kill me (18years of smoking was probley worse).

Noob2PC, I love your set-up. I too am strapped for space. It appears you have a full size oven. Where do you keep it ?
