I use silica sand, and yes, I use a good dust mask, and I have a fan blowing
air my way from another room, to help rid the sandblast room of any
dust that may escape the cabinet.
The sand may be too aggressive for some materials, but I haven’t
really had much problem, and I’m not out for show room outboards
with hours of polishing. Though they’re great to look at, not my thing.
I sand blasted everything on this Johnson K-50, (except the gas tank, flywheel & carb)
and did some polishing with wire wheels in my dremmel, drill,
sand paper, etc.
I wouldn’t mind trying glass bead sometime though for carburetors, etc.,
How long does the glass media last before it’s wore out?
