the stuff your not suposed to use and costs about 3 quid a bag from wicks u can even use it for the proper purpose after its been used for blasting. heres the finish @90psi through a pressure pot . ideal for painting or here bead blasting after sandblasting

I use glass grit that has been worn down to the consistency of flour, but that's no good unless you're blasting steel to wear the grit down in the 1st place.
