Blasting Media
Anybody know a place to get blasting media like aluminum oxide? I figured they would sell it at Sears or Home Depot but I can't find it anywhere. Is there anything else I can use to blast stuff like control arms?

Look in your local directory under Abrasives.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Harbor Freight also sells 25# and 50# containers of glass bead and aluminum oxide. Of course their selection of different grit is limited.

Eastwood has blast media.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
