He'd do better with a pressurised container for the media. Our old sandblaster used a calor gas bottle to reasonable success until we got bored and made a wood burner out of it.

Like it,

Iv got an air line attachment which is basically like a spray gun, but you put sand/grit/soda in it.

Similar to ones where you can put a cleaning chemical in and blast it at stuff, got one of them too.

Just a pickup pipe over a reservoir of whatever you want to spray out.

Good idea though that, cant get much simpler!

you could just use one of these guns with it tbh http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-4in-Bsp-Air-Sa...=item20c5353c0b

i looked into this a while ago just haven't got round to or needed it yet but i will soon and using the baking soda is a great idea as it will be cheaper and safer than the sand which is great

Think i might make myself a cabinet in the lock up and build one of these, could just sandblast the whole car then

mines like that, but where the pickup pipe attaches theres a reservoir on the gun :)

I'm sure that one could be modified for a reservoir or can you find a link to the one you have harris or a cheap version of it i dont know what to search for as you wouldnt want a fine painting nozzle you would need a 2mm one like the gun above

and max I'm going to make a little cabinet for mine too just see if you can get a cheap metal storage cabinet off the bay and use that on its back

Now the engines stripped to bare block, there's a few parts that need cleaning and its payday Tomoz aha cheers gonna make one Tomoz and ill post some pics up

I'm all set up for doing this now bought the kit at the weekend a proper Clarke gritblast gun with pot for £17 VAT FREE and then won 30kg's of soda blast grit for 99p that I'm picking up tomoz

did they tell you that you had to spend over £50? mine did so I didn't bother :)

Yeah I spent £140 Mark good thing was I was going there anyway to get my bday pressie off my misses so worked out perfect and got my mate at work a bench top vice so I ended up saving about £40 in all

Sweet... :)

I gave this a go with some brake cleaner and it worked OK...

Was only drawing the cleaner up the tube intermittently so I was getting a sudden blast of it every few seconds. Didn't really do much but I'd imagine with a big tub of grit or soda that's fit for purpose it will work well!
