Fendall, is this a new career or a part time gig?
Sandblasting is a huge mess that takes forever to clean up and get out of your hair & ears. Part time cheapo set from Harbor Freight or equivalant will probably do what you want & make you think twice before you ever agree to do it again.
Or go spend a whole bunch of money for the real stuff including space suit & go into the business.
Either way, get a good mask. And unless you've got a huge compressor you aren't gonna be able to do much at one time. Joe H
*Joe you are 100% right.I rented an industrial compressor on a trailer and attempted to sandblast my own cast iron radiators. Ended up costing me $400 and a full day to finish only three.I had a metal cleaning company do the 10 others. My final bill including transportation was $900.It's an ugly and dirty job that's not worth doing unless you're properly set up....and even then!Paul
