I know this was meant in jest, but I feel duty bound to tell folks that this is a bad idea. Using actual sand for sandblasting is exceedingly dangerous for your lungs, and can result in silicosis which is a horrible and painful way to die.

Kurt, you shouldn't be blasting anything into your lungs. Sand, glass bead...it's really bad to wrap your lips around your blaster.

That sounds like something I might see in a Final Destination movie...

I was in A&E once when a guy came in who had tested his shot blaster on his gloved hand prior to de rusting a chassis, not a lot of glove, flesh or bone left in his palm.

I just got the e100 cyclone. I couldn't justify anything larger with my brain, my ego on the other hand saw a trinco that was beautiful. I left the trinco alone for now.

And yes Kurt, the sand in my kid's sandbox is safe, it would be a shame to blast a pipe with sand desicrated by the local feline population. The dying part would suck too.

Just so everyone knows:

REAL SAND - BAD
BLASTING MEDIA BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER - GOOD

:D

Man....don't let those "reputable suppliers" trick you like that. It is just another lie corporate America is force feeding us! Fight the man, use play sand!
