During vapor blasting, does the glass surface become damaged eventually as in dry blasting (the glass gets sandblasted unless you use a plastic film which is sacrificial)?

I have never had glass. Prior it was plexi. So it got scratched and broken. So time will tell.

I decided I hate the Sound of my compressor. Plus it is a pile of junk. I splurged and bought a rotary screw Schulz 4008. Which is a pretty small footprint 60 gallon 7.5hp unit 69db and 25 cfm. All the larger compressors that could handle the cfm were huge. 

To run vapor rig you really need a minimum of 18cfm. But really 25cfm. 
 

Hopefully this is the last compressor I have to buy in my life.

I switched to brass bulk head fittings and added a fresh water rinse. Excited to get back to using it. 
 

I also added an LED from Amazon. We use this same Model at work.

Well the compressor came. It’s 28” deep instead of the 23” their webpage says. So it’s a tight fit. My wife isn’t happy:)

 

Its pretty darn nice. Internal pumps and such are all weg, which I like. 
 

I am hopeful this is the last Compressor I ever have to buy.

Make it bigger and use a 240z hatch as the top.  Install a wiper.
