Hi guys, do any of you use pumice as a blasting media ? Because it’s not that hard Is it any good as general cleaning media or is it solely for cleaning wood ?

is it powder or granules. if powder it wont work well in a blast pot and just block up in the valve .if u want to test it get a plastic bottle cut the bottom of it and drill a 6 0r an 8mm hole in the lid and fill it up .if it flows easily without stopping it will work if it bridges and stops it wont

It’s granules buddy. We are based next to a transport company and they asked if we knew anyone that wanted it. The stuff was not accepted by a customer when made a delivery with it. it’s been dry stored and there appears to be nothing wrong with it

worth a try in a pressure pot at 90psi
are the granules small anything bigger than 1.0mm will be 2 much for a cheap pot with a 3mm jet
