I got a question below from someone asking if they sell the PAB sandblaster gun in the UK area. I posted the question and my response below because I thought it would be helpful.
Question:
Hi Eric
Thanks for the email. One question, would you have any idea where I might get a PAB type gun in the UK. I bought a pressure pot which has a simple on off turn valve which I consider will give me no control what so ever.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Regards
Willie

Hi Willie,
I thought I heard that they created a distribution center over in the UK somewhere but I could be wrong. Another guy from the UK emailed me and said that he got one. I can’t remember if he had it shipped over there or if he said they had a distribution center.
It would be best to just ask PAB through their website. On the other hand, you can make something similar for a few dollars fairly easy with pinch valves as you can see in my picture above. It’s not as nice but is worth giving a try. I show how to make these with pictures in my sandblaster plans here.
I’ve also made a homemade generic version of the PAB here but haven’t got it perfected yet so those plans aren’t out yet.
If you have some creative mechanically inclined skills, give it a try designing/ making one. There really isn’t much to it.
Hope that helps. Thanks

Hi Willie/Eric,
We started stocking PAB guns and the PAB units (models B and D we keep in stock) a year or so ago. We also carry all the supplies for these units. The sandblast pots themselves are pretty well designed and have all the sorts of features you would expect from a sandblast pot including grit regulation water trap, pressure regulator etc. You can get in touch with me at the email address supplied, more information about the company is found at theblastshop.co.uk.
Thanks,
