    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.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

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

    If you are located in Jacksonville, FL look up Corrosion Specialties. They are in located in Jacksonville. They will have most any abrasive you could want.
