Ebay Sandblaster

 

 

 

On January 30th, my brother Maurice came to Wicklow for the day to help me with the frame. We had bought a small sandblaster from a guy called cutstools on www.ebay.co.uk, in the hope that I could save some money by doing the sandblasting myself.

 

To cut a long story short, it took nearly 3 months to arrive, and then arrived damaged. The pressure gauge was not working and was bent. This didn't affect the operation of the sandblaster itself, but was a bit annoying. We rented a compressor from the local tool hire place to run the sandblaster. Unfortunately, the sandblaster was not suited to this task - it was ok for cleaning surface rust off bare metal, but would make no impact on any remaining pieces of epoxy on the chassis.

 

Back I went to using Nitromors and the heat gun...
