This is what RU-vid is about. Fantastic video and excellent step by step. Thanks

@JamesDoylesGarage 3 месяца назад

Exactly, you said it first lol.

@andykerr3803 8 дней назад

The strategy is to first clean off surface, then reduce surface tension of metal to increase strength, especially welds. Always only use minimal aluminum oxide first on heavily coated surfaces. It is very abrasive and will open micro fissures, causing risk of crackes. Glass beads act like tiny shot peen hsmmers and close some fissures and reduce surface tension, like polishing. Always carefully test thei materials like body panels not to cause deformation. Adjust angle and pressure carefully 👍 Cheers 🍻 Nice machine.

@johnkoury1116 8 дней назад

Very nice explanation!! I believe this has to be the best conversion videos I have seen so far. I have one of these and have been accumulating the pieces needed to convert mine over to vapor blasting. I am about to start a RU-vid channel with the build of a 1928 Morgan Hillclimb race car. I am going to specialize in pre war race cars and have been putting together a machine shop to support my builds. I found the coolest Drilling/tapping station from the aerospace industry before there ever was one...

@rickden8362 2 дня назад

Obviously the aluminum oxide will look better since it is the harder material and is taking some of the base material off during blasting. This should always be a major criteria in choosing blasting medium, if, and how much, the base material can be thinned. In addition, how will adjacent, machined surfaces be effected by the blasting medium.

@Tairone1337 Год назад

This is the best vapor build video, add wipers, vacuum is not needed

@MarleyJaxGarage Год назад

Yea I might put a wiper on it and make a video if I get time. If I’m not filming it’s pretty easy to see what I’m doing as long as I don’t blast back into the glass.

@stephengomes977 11 месяцев назад

@@MarleyJaxGarage Great tutorial! You could run an airline with a small blow gun to shoot air at the window to clear it as well as spray on the part to clear it of water and media so you can inspect it easier. The hose with a sprayer is a great idea and doesn't take up too much room in the cabinet. Thanks for taking us through the entire build, and giving us a bunch of tips and techniques. Keep up the great content. I'm looking forward to building this project in the future.

@SuperHaptics 6 дней назад

The white male plug that comes from your pump and goes to the switch has probably a live prong. So if your pump is connected to mains with the black wire and then you touch the pins of the wite plug when it is unplugged you will probably fry yourself. I hope i got it wrong though i don't think so.... You need to put the plug (pins) to the switch wire and the socket (holes) to the pump side and stay alive. Awesome project by the way

Awesome setup, Marley, RU-vid suggested your video to me and then I saw the V3 Vapor Blast gun. It's great to see it working in your cabinet. I've had great success using Harbor Freight's 80 grit glass beads to decontaminate aluminum parts the size you are working with in your video and then switching to 175-325 US sieve glass beads as the finishing polish. Keep up the great work. New subscriber here.

Inside to run constant to wet glass, and install a water proof windshield wiper put inside with speed adjustment, and add a big piece of rubber mat hanging down inside by door, so u open door push up rubber mat put your dirty part in the mat falls and protect from any water or glass bead shooting around door seals and no leaks or mess around door

I'm trying to duplicate your setup, but there was also a little confusion in the comments about what size reducers you used for the pump to mount the hose splitter on, and the fitting that goes on the hopper; where did you get them and what size is needed? Thanks for the help, I'm pretty stoked about getting mine up and running!

@robert5 8 месяцев назад

I have a large plastic IBC tank and am going to try using that for a wet blaster. You can find those pretty cheap, I paid 25 bucks. Get one with the metal cage around it and use that as a stand and frame mount for the door. They are larger so more room and plastic to wet is no problem. I was going to make it a dry bast cabinet but am picking up a used harbor freight unit tomorrow for cheap so using that as my dry bast unit. Wonder if a pressure washer would work for this using a siphon style tip?

@martintelford8763 Год назад

Great build video. I've been wanting to build one as well, but I've be deterred because I think my compressor is too small. I have a 110V 2hp 20 gal compressor. It might do 3.5-4 cfm at 60 psi. What size of compressor were you running?

@MarleyJaxGarage Год назад

I have an old 5hp 60 gallon single stage compressor. It’s not the best but it can keep up with my projects. You could do it with a smaller compressor but it would take forever. The duty cycle on those small compressors aren’t great either.

@sacbmw 4 месяца назад

Great video sir. I am just completing a machine, inspired by yours. I found an old dry blast cabinet to use. Are you still using any kind of cabinet ventilation? Also, do you have accurate data on how much media you use per gallon of water? Last question, for now, do you have a wiper or any automated sprayer setup for you window? In my trial runs I had nothing and it seemed to be pretty easy to see what I was doing. It still would be nice to at least have a fixed spray head aimed at the window, with an easily accessible valve.

@JIWfab Год назад

Thanks for all the info. The only thing I noticed (I bought most of the parts you listed) is that the link to the fitting that attaches to the pump is wrong. It 1 1/4” to garden hose threads. It needs to be 1” to garden hose threads (thankfully Amazon gave me a refund with out a return.). Instead I just 3d printed a fitting. Good work.

@tatticus5714 8 месяцев назад

What compressor did you use?

@savage6394 9 месяцев назад

The only constructive criticism I could give you is it only takes a second to wipe up the white adhesive as your putting everything together and would have made your new cabinet look like a commercially bought one. The second thing is you probably don’t need a vacuum with a vapor blast cabinet. One suggestion on how to keep the glass clean. Maybe try a small plant mister. You could maybe leave it running while you’re blasting, hopefully without adding much to the water level. Either way it Looks good Dude!

@kyushalimit5931 5 месяцев назад

Looks great, i am going through a build right now but seems to be lots of back and forth on the pedals, Victor Bared says you need to see the full 1/2 air through, yet other guys say they notice no difference using 1/2 or 3/8 airline/pedal. Curious if you feel the pedal in yours is a hold up at all? looks to be just 3/8?

@MarleyJaxGarage 5 месяцев назад

I don’t think mine is affected that much but I haven’t tried without the peddle. It’s just a hobby machine and it has met all my expectations and needs. It probably depends on what you are using it for.

@joachimlimburg250 Год назад

Great video! I just finished building this and have one issue (other than a few leaks that need fixing haha), the pump will stop after a while, i guess it is clogged. Now i have been using very fine grit glass beads (170-340) because i had them, and the create a dense mush on the bottom of the bucket. I will get 80 grit glass beads and try those, but can you share which ones you are using? thanks!

@MarleyJaxGarage Год назад

I did show the box, I believe it was 80 grit from harbor freight. The pump should not stop, it’s a trash pump so should be able to handle the media. My guess is either your not agitating the media in the bottom of the bucket enough or the pump is bad.

@robert5 8 месяцев назад

You may be using to much media if it is mushy. Try much less and then ad more until it stops then back off a bit. Should work without needing that much media.

@Vjiovino 3 месяца назад

@masterofnonetv8361 Год назад

I've watched a few of these vids and the funny thing is is that everyone contorts themselves around trying to silicon these all around on the inside when guess what? All those seems are on the outside also where you can get to them much easier and use half the amount of silicone, Apparently no one thought of that!!

@MarleyJaxGarage Год назад

It wasn’t hard at all to silicone this on the inside. Everyone does it on the inside because they don’t want a smeared mess all over the outside and it will be a better seal. It makes much more sense to spend 5 minutes inside doing it the right way.

@eadam2582 Год назад

What about the machined surfaces? Like the cylinder bore. Does the glass bead or the aluminum oxide mess them up?

@MarleyJaxGarage Год назад

Yes it does mess them up a little. I don’t worry about the gasket surfaces or threads but piston rings need a honed finish. This is a cylinder that got bored and honed after this process. It looked so shiny and new because I had already practiced doing the machine work on it but didn’t take it to final size. Some people put big sponges in the cylinder and then ball hone it after a good wash if your just trying to restore.

@PDZ1122 3 месяца назад

Why would you call this a vapor blaster if there is absolutely no vapor?

@williamallen7836 2 месяца назад

When you blast with soda it turns into a vapor upon impact. Which in turn removes material. Hence vapor blaster. Vapor blaster & soda blasted are interchangeable, and a matter of personal preference on which one you use.
