Was hoping your free ebook would have something about computer creation of stencils for blasting stone. How thick a vinyl do I need to survive blasting and at what pressure for sandstone?

Compliments of the day,
I came across your video on youtube, and since picked an interest for your machine. Unfortunately am not doing anything at the moment and would like to create a kind of a job around sand blasting. To this end, could you be kind enough to tell me how much a complete set, inclusive of every material i would need to create beautiful art works would cost me, and how much to ship it to Nigeria?
Thank you and best regards as I await your response.

Hi there, I have been in business for about 2 years sandblasting rocks in my garage and am interested in going portable. I have a compressor, sandblasting pot and cabinet that is working great. I’m looking for information on going portable to do large rocks at farm yards? How big of a compressor do I get? Do I buy a large one with generator built in? Do you set that up in a 10 ft enclosed trailer? What sand do I use? I currently use aluminum oxide at home in my cabinet because I can reuse it a few times, but at a job site how would I gather it? And what about nozzles and settings? Can you possibly guide me as to how I would set this up. Thanks so much!
I am small self employment person I have two pantcraft machines

Super job Eric.
Your E-book is full of very useful information for Sandblasting.
My interest is using a 6-8 Ton of Sandblast Pot for Pneumatic Conveying of Aggregate.
I’ll use the Pot to store Aggregate under 30-60 PSI.
If you know of any source selling a USED 6-8 Ton Pot please let me know. Thanks.
(703) 501-1546
I have downloded the book and now I’m going, like a pithon to read and digest it. Many many thanks for your generosity. Ugo
nice one
Can you recommend what type of masks you would use for sandblasting rocks?
Hi Eric,
Been a subscriber for several years but rarely use sandblaster.
Site is completely different from the last time I visited (usually I use direct reply to your e-mails)
Starting a new project (actually w very old project I’m getting back to LOL) so I’m going to use my pressure pot sandblaster for first time in about 4 yrs (only use it to clean motorcycle parts/frame, etc)
Downloaded the free book, first time I’ve seen how to set the various valves. I finally find out I’ve been using the throttle wrong by having it too far open. Hopefully things will work better this time around
@Peter, it’s good to hear from you! Yes, I just recently updated the website about a couple months ago if I recall correctly. Thanks for stopping by again
sand blasting briefing
Do you have any good suggestions on water separators (home made or store bought)?
Have you looked at the ‘Franzinator’? Majority of ready built separators are only 3/8″ or 1/4″ bore so restrict airflow quite badly. (although you could probably build a manifold and have several working on same line?) The ‘Franzinator’ uses 3/4″ or 1/2″ pipe so passes air much easier. The principle behind it seems sound although I don’t have first hand experience of using one (couldn’t get pipe in correct length and don’t want to buy 10’~16′ plus pay to have it cut and threaded for end caps, etc, etc, etc)
Shawn, at least from my experience, I haven’t really had much issues with the cheaper water separators and I live in a fairly humid area. But this one is a good brand for a good price: http://amzn.to/2k3Ojdy
@Peter, the Franzinator looks quite interesting. If I ever get around to build one, I will report the details about it here. Thanks for sharing
Can I with this rented unit, remove chipped Paint off of a Aluminum Jon Boat?
I just started deep carving stone and I’m having issues with the mask sticking to the flagstone surface I use flagstone and it is pourous so I can’t get a good stick. I used a spray adhesive but then I couldn’t get all the residue off of the stone after I took the template off. Any suggestions
I would think ordinary automotive brake cleaner would be easiest stuff to remove glue residue? Alternatively, use white wood glue to seal surface first, it can be washed off with water (as long as you don’t get waterproof glue ;o) )
@peter
Thank you I will definitely try and update on how both work out
What is the coarsest media and what type would you recimend to remove paint from pitch pine beams using the pressurised pot system
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for putting this information together. But I do have a question too. I see it’s been quite a while since you got your last question so hopefully you are still monitoring that email address.
My Harbor Freight blast cabinet came with a typical cheap gun. The gun got damaged and I found that Amazon has a shit ton of those cheap guns. $15 and it came was four typical red ceramic nozzles and one black heavy what appears to be metal but it’s none magnetic. I wondered if it was titanium but being that the whole kit was so cheap…I doubt it.
If you’re still in the blasting business you may be familiar with what the deal is with those black nozzles. It may even be lead…it really feels that heavy! So I suspect that would be for something really soft like maybe soda.
Thanks!
I hope to hear back from you,
Wayne Thomas
