duffymahoney Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share #26 Posted March 17, 2018 Well my home built vapor blasting cabinet works awesome. Uses a ton of air. So I had to bring it to my work. So happy! I don’t need as much glass to water. Maybe 25% glass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopequebien Posted March 17, 2018 Share #28 Posted March 17, 2018 Near my home there's a professional working with these vapor wet blasting cabinets and they use nutshell particles for the aluminum engine parts, I personally sent them to clean motorcycle engines with excellent results, did you hear about this medium?Enviado desde mi SM-N910F mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted March 17, 2018 Share #29 Posted March 17, 2018 Fantastic results! Any problems seeing in the cabinet while blasting or glass beads clumping up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted March 18, 2018 Share #30 Posted March 18, 2018 WOW!!!! How many CFM are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share #31 Posted March 18, 2018 Thanks guys. Walnuts would be more abrasive then this by a lot. This is so soft that it doesn't even take sealant off or silicone. It's sort of looks fake its so nice. No idea on cfm. I have a small compressor at home that wasn't good enough. I could go about 1 minute before I need to take a break and let it recharge. Beads clumped a bit, honestly the amount of beads needed is so small. Tomorrow I will try much less glass and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted March 18, 2018 Share #32 Posted March 18, 2018 Excellent results!!! What do you think you have invested in the completed cabinet and beads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share #33 Posted March 18, 2018 I don’t know. I would say less then 500 the cabinet is pretty junky. If i was doing this for a living I would buy a stainless one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffymahoney Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share #35 Posted March 18, 2018 Haha. It’s kind of a pain. Honestly for how much I needed done it would have been smarter to use a local company. But sadly none:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
