The Sandblaster bought from eBay has just arrived and I've had a quick go on the cylinder head. I'm using a Clarke Sb3 blast gun and 120 aluminium oxide grit as its supposedly not as harsh as the cast iron grit. My compressor is a Clarke 8cfm 50 litre unit and although the gun does work fairly well you do have to shake the gun regularly to ensure even grit (although reading the manual , I now find i should be blipping the gun as opposed to continual trigger usage....RTFM !!!). It's a a shame I didn't take a pictures of the head before the blasting, but was to eager to start. The Head has come up a treat..
The Shed now has a nice 1mm covering everywhere of aluminium oxide grit ....so the next job is to fabricate a small blast cabinet to save on oxide grit and cleaning.
