building sand for blasting

[rtbcomp]

Have a look into using crushed glass,no sillicosis and legal,not badly priced either

I use that, it's very sharp and works well on reduced pressure, it can embed itself in aluminium if you're not careful. It's OK on ally once its been used a few times.

Lokk for "Ineedgrit" on ebay

i have been pointing up a patio with kiln dried sand from travis perkins at £4.00 a bag and is very fine and totally dry and is store in there warehouse

ps is a lot better than the b&q stuff

Sorry to butt in, butt in in the sand industry, im sure sharp sand is very abrasive... of all the sands...lay it out in the sun to dry fully...

I've never tried it tho

don't bother the size is inconsistent and u would have to sieve it before use

i often wonder why anyone living at the beach or in the desert doesnt contract silicosis :as the sand is blasted over rocks with the wind and ground up on the roads by traffic . its allso ground up in foundrys after sandcasting by the fettlers . they use breathing gear but there isnt a dedicated booth to contain the dust of said parts .dow mack concrete near me used to shotblast the steelwork reinforcing bars on bridge end sections every week crap and dust allover so i hardly wurry about it when i use the stuff myself with airfed helmet. ive ben blasting for 30 years work on dusty sites. used to smoke 60 fags a day and im healthy ass
