Sandblasting sucks...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I sandblasted the grill support today so I can mount my tranny cooler later this week. After today I remember why a few years ago when I sandblasted my frame I swore to every person I knew I'd never sandblast anything again. It wouldn't be so bad if I could get the stuff to work, but I blast for 40 seconds, work on the blaster for 10 minutes. I never could get the right pressure, so I had to spend twice as much time doing it, couldn't find any gloves, so had to hold the pieces bare handed (OUCH!!!!), plus sand hittin my eyes at 150psi.

Sorry, just needed to vent a little!
