Dont know about sand blasting,but if you decide to sand blast, glass beading is now usually used in place of sand blasting.Dont know why. I bought a glass beader at Harbor Freight($30).The one with a bead tank that looks like a motorcycle gas tank. Glass beads are about $20 /25 pounds. It will take the rust off. It is called a spot balster.You can be fairly accurate with it. 90psi air pressure. Lots of work to do say a exhaust manifold.Best for small areas. |
