Don't think Glass bead is any better to breath in then silica dust. It's basically the same thing. Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx> wrote: I'm not using sand. Besides the health issues, sand (from what I understand) isn't all that great of a blasting media since it breaks down quickly. The stuff I'm working on is pretty thin so I'm using glass bead right now.

I didn't think about this before, but recently a friend came by to help with my Typhoon, and mentioned my blast-box. He checked it out, and asked where I hooked up the vacuum. Long story short, the next time I used the cabinet, I hooked up a vacuum, and the visability was amazingly better. The vac sucks out the dust created by the blasting. > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: http://splatter.wps.com/pipermail/amc-list/attachments/20080415/686ced52/attachment.htm > _______________________________________________ > Amc-list mailing list > Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx > http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list > > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: http://splatter.wps.com/pipermail/amc-list/attachments/20080415/fba161b3/attachment.htm > _______________________________________________ > Amc-list mailing list > Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx > http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list > > > -- mhaas@xxxxxxx Cincinnati, OH http://www.mattsoldcars.com 1967 Rambler American wagon 1968 Rambler American sedan ================================================================= According to a February 2003 survey of Internet holdouts released by UCLA's Center for Communication Policy, people cite not having a computer as the No. 1 reason they won't go online. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
