usually only use my cabinet for getting rid of rust and general snot but but going to do all the alloy bits, inlet manifold, thermostat housing, bell housing etc but not sure which media to use i.e sand, grit, glass beads. Does anyone else use a blast cabinet and if you do what do you se to clean aluminium stuff? Masturbation is not a crime its a hobby |

You could use kiln dried sand. Only kiln dried though as regular building sand is wet and clumpy and pretty useless for blasting. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

used kiln dried before and works out really cheap compared with machine mart stuff. |

I thought sand was a No No due to the silica dust getting in your lungs

You should be wearing respiratory gear using whatever you blast with so i wouldn't have thought it would be much of an issue. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
