Sand blasting media to use for surface prep

[tavo1765]

Problem is the wrong nozel is being used and you maybe had the settings set with the media and air at high flow, trick with the pot you ordered is to close the valve on the bottom half open to give you more pressure either way will can controll air and media rate, you can give the stream more air, less media and vise versa.

Do you own a hobby or pro gun?

I own several Hobby guns, makes it nice & fast to change colors, But I am considering a pro gun soon I just spent my spare cash on a 2 hsp. buffing machine, pads & compounds.
On the Pressure pot... I fiddled & fiddled trying to ge the air & media flow better, no go. Like you said, I'm sure it was the nozzle being to big. I also think the valves are all worn out.
Thanks for all your help, I will let you know how it goes when the new pressure pot comes in next week.

No problem, here to help at anytime, I myself had found this forum to be very informative.

Some advice about pro-guns, get a ITW Gema. I got mine off Ebay for $2500.00, best money I could of spent. Hobby guns are good but very weak, after you use a pro your life is much more easier, like what it is going to be when you get the blasting set up your talking about. But what a pain in the ass at first to figure out.

The Caswell unit looks like a good gun for the price. Good luck and keep us posted about your business.
