where to buy blast media?

[joenintiesc New User Find all posts View Profile Close joenintiesc]

In NJ? My friend lent me his blast cabinet and I want to use it to strip exhaust manifolds, and possibly (magnesium) valve covers.

Where can I buy blast media locally in NJ? I don't think Home Depot or Lowes carries any. I guess I would use "black magnum" for what I want to strip... I'd rather not use sand because of the silica dust.

What kind of places carry this stuff?

Thanks!

Thanks, I've seen a few places I can get it on the internet, but I'm drawing a blank on where to pick it up locally. Paint supply stores? Auto parts stores? Hardware stores?

Re: where to buy blast media?

See if you have a Harbor Freight outlet or Tractor Supply. Both carry multiple types of blast media.

did you notice the date of that thread? the guy asked the question in april 2004 , i think either he found some or he does not need it anymore .
