For those of you with sandblasters... Reply #1 – October 04, 2006, 07:19:07 PM Goggles, mask, long sleeve shirt, gloves, and misc orifice plugs :D Turn your air pressure down, too - if the pressure is too high that shiznit'll go everywhere and hurt while doing it. I actually don't have a sandblaster anymore - it burned with our cottage three years ago. I must get another some time... Quote Selected

For those of you with sandblasters... Reply #4 – October 04, 2006, 07:33:51 PM Do all your sandblasting at the beach. Not only do you have an endless supply of abrasive, you'll have sand in every orriface anyway. Quote Selected

For those of you with sandblasters... Reply #6 – October 04, 2006, 09:02:55 PM I have this "space suit" looking thing I got from our clothing supplier at work. Its a white, disposible, plastic fibre type body suite that painters use. I think they are pretty cheep. I use that, a cheep respirator from PAL, and disposable ear plugs. Quote Selected

For those of you with sandblasters... Reply #10 – October 04, 2006, 10:35:09 PM I've been just using a blasting hood, a respirator and a longsleeve shirt. I could pick up a bunny-suit or two for when I'm under the car with it, but it really doesn't matter. I just blast myself off with the airhose when I'm done. Quote Selected

For those of you with sandblasters... Reply #12 – October 05, 2006, 07:19:39 AM Thanks guys! There are some pretty good suggestions here :) Last night I was sandblasting the lip around the quarter panel (base t-bird) and the sand got everywhere. I like the beach idea but you obliviously have never been on a beach in Newfoundland in October, have you? :brrr: :) Quote Selected
