Glass media blasting - Safety and applied advice needed.

[Grizz1963]

Right.....

Calling clever people and any others with opinions.

I have been quoted £40.00 per wheel to powdercoat, and then remove tyres from my chrome smoothies and fit, balance to the powder coated wheels.

This sounds like a decent price to me, but I have no real idea.

I do have a. Blasting cabinet, but it's too small for the wheels, so I will be building a plywood box with a simple door, some glass in the door and a vacuum cleaner along with holes for my hands and the spray nozzle hose.

I plan on using glass media as I purchased a load at reasonable price last year.




I spent quite a lot of time trying to find answers on Google today, but lot a lot of info came up on glass media.

So my question is, what safety steps should I take out back behind my garage?

I plan to use safety glasses, a plastic visor and a bush hat, also an overall over my clothes, and some kind of simple mask.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks again.
