Hello friend, great video, It's awesome seeing more home-brewed vapor blast systems being put together. Glass beads are round in shape and are best for light decontamination, cleaning, and polishing. I've had great success at removing coatings using sharp media like aluminum oxide or garnet in 36-80 grit. Be careful using these sharp 36-grit media on the mating surfaces of soft metals like aluminum, it's very aggressive.
If you plan on stripping materials more than cleaning and polishing then putting together a dry system is best. The water from a wet system cushions the impact of the blast media.
Have fun vapor blasting!
Hey Victor THANK YOU for the pro tips. We’re actually using your 3D printed nozzle. It’s awesome 🙌🙌🙌
@@Itsallaboutthebuild Thank you, I appreciate your support. It's wonderful to see females showing interest in these types of hobbies. I bore my wife to pieces with my garage projects. I subscribed to keep up with your progress.
Wishing you great success with your channel.
@@vbared THANKS MUCH!!! We do have lots of fun together 👍
i have an old 6hp 150psi craftsman compressor 120v standard house outlet find them on market place all day long.. works amazing with my converted harbor freight cabinet
I’ve seen one on Facebook marketplace was about to buy it the other day. Might just do that. THANKS 🙌🙌🙌
@It's all about the build picked mine up for $125 a month ago
Nice!!! That’s a great price.
Using 80 grit is equivalent to a dry blast. It'll come off easier if you used the 80 grit dry.
I'm now using 100-170 glass bead and now I get a nice finish
Good to know. Will have to switch it up to dry and wet for nicer finish 🙌🙌🙌
How about gravity feed water and media by hanging the bucket over head, can you avoid using pump in this setup or does pump serve another purpose?
That’s an interesting idea… but I think the pump helps circulate the media slurry as well because we have an extra hose from the pump feeding the bottom to stir the media up 👍
Be good if we saw results from dry vs wet blasting?
Really want to make one...thanks
Good point. What I’ve seen from others is paint removal works way better with dry blasting. Wet is better for cleaning and polishing which depends on the PSI and media used. 👍
