I cant see most of the pics, but thats probably because Im at work. Damn blocking software.

I agree DONT USE PLAYSAND! Ive read alot about silicosis, nasty stuff. To the person in Orlando, FL . Tractor Supply Stores sell glass bead and aluminum oxide. Its not that expensive if your not blasting to waste.

You guys are gonna laugh at me when you see this oven LOL. It's acctualy an electrical cabinet. (I'm an electrician by trade) It's 3'x4'x16" with 7500W of heat. Now that I have visited this site and seen some of the ovens others are building, I am ashamed of mine LOL I wil eventually be building a 5'x6'x6' I think. Before winter. I only have a 18'x15' shop to work out of and I have a CNC mini MIll in there too. Kinda tight for space. Get's pretty hot in there when curing as well.

I do know that you do not want to use glass bead on cast alum. Like intakes for example. The glass beads breakup and get imbedded in the alum and no amount of outgassing wil free them, untill you have powder sprayed on, then they will come up into the powder Ask me how I know lol

I did an intake that I bead blasted, was full of specs after. I tried twice with glass beads, then I tried silica and it worked fine, no specs in the PC
