Clean and Reclaim Your Blast Media

Here is a simple yet very effective way to preserve the use of your blast media by cleaning it. Blasted paint can become dust, and combined with your media can make for a very dirty blasting experience. An easy way to remove most of this dust is to incorporate a fan while pouring from one container to the other. Finer blast media require more precise work to get it clean but the large media should clean up rather quickly using this method.

What/how is your dust collection setup? I would be interested in seeing a small video about that. I recently purchased a very small blast cabinet (toploader) but had a hard time keeping visibility and a clean glass. Result after about 20 minutes of using is that the lid is almost completely opaque after using korund.

My large Skatblast cabinet has a dedicated dust collection system made for it. This is the setup I made for my HF cabinet - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AOTeD-Rohqs.html

What media would you recommend if planning on mainly etching glass?

@TigerCreekFarm 2 года назад

Personal preference - but I would use red garnet or aluminum oxide around 100-120 grit.

Tiger creek farm is the shifter you made for your Honda still working out for you?

@TigerCreekFarm 2 года назад

Yes it is.

@@redmansoutdoors1054 appreciate it. As far as the shifter goes I have found that short, sharp shifts work every time and seems to make things trouble free.

Great, low-tech example of how to get the most use out of your supplies. Makes me think about trying to clean my alcohol for re-use after I've used it for cleaning some 3d print jobs. Not sure if it's possible or practical, but is it worth having a "dirty" blast cabinet for initial cleaning, then a "clean" cabinet for a final pass? Might make it possible to re-use the media a little longer, cycling the older media to the "dirty" cabinet when cleaning it seems to be more work that it's worth.

@TigerCreekFarm 2 года назад

I do something like that already. Sometimes it’s easier to just dump and clean the large cabinet than to spend more time blasting in the smaller cabinet. All of the media gets cycled down to the dirtiest and least desirable jobs. It all eventually ends up at its final destination with the pressure pot.

I have seen quite a few people that put their used alcohol container in the sun to cure the mixed in resin, then all you have to do is strain the hard bits out. Presumably you could also cure it with the uv lamp
