Sandblasting
 

I've got a small unit for smaller parts, but I'm wanting to get a jeep frame media blasted sometime in the next couple of months. Do any of you do this in or around the KC area, or know a good person that does? Also looking for a general idea of the cost. Thanks

First time on CP someone's been honest about it.

heh

If you have someplace to do it buy a cheap soda blaster. Should save you some coin.

I sand blasted once. It was fun.

bledsoe's? shot in the dark

I do sandblasting at my trophy shop. How big is the part you're wanting done?

large.

My Dad had a sandblaster, but it was smaller. I liked putting on the moon suit gloves and working on stuff. Sorry I know that doesn't really help you out any.

That explains the need to fight at little league games.

:D

Try the soda blaster from eastwood. Worth the price!

Both are far superior to their counterparts.

Hmmm. I might have to look into one of those. Is the blasting media real expensive?

It's fairly large. It's an old jeep frame. about 10 feet long, two sides and two cross members. plus front and rear bumpers

Its baking soda, not at all.

Thats not much surface area. I would use sand for both. soda is great for sheet metal parts. I have use walnuts, pecans, 3 different grades of sand and soda.
