I found out this weekend....

OK, so I live in northwest Indiana, and it not only gets hot up here, it's also very huimid, alot. So this weekend we stayed just above 100 degress friday, sat, and sun, with a relative humidity of about 95%. Trust me, you open the door to walk outside and you start sweating.

So I went to do some more sandblasting with my new blasting cabinet yesterday, and found that I had air but no glass beads comming through. Well after careful deduction, I looked into my abrasive container, and everything was all balled up and wet. The humidity got to it....
So are the glass beads ruined now? I fear this humidity will put a halt to all my powdercoating and sandblasting fun this summer. I'm sure neither the landlords nor the girlfriend will let me do it all in the basement of an air conditioned humidity free house....

Nah!! Just dry it out and break up the lumps it'll be fine.

Welcome to my world! I live in Florida so I deal with Humidity all the time. That is why I use Alum Oxide for my Blasting, for some reason it is less prone to clumping!

Well, aluminum oxide IS on the way, so cool! Something to look forward too!
