Re: [Amc-list] blasting media??

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Is there a Harbor Freight store in your neck of the woods? I got my 
glass bead media there. The glass bead worked great on the parts I 
cleaned up but it does take some time.

Eastwood does have a good selection of media (and their prices on blast 
cabinets aren't bad, they were about middle of the road on the one I 
just got) but I suspect shipping ain't free.
