So what grit do you prefer in your tea? ;-)

Loren you son of a gun you had to mention that one -? ---- I was not a Carpet
Bagger ---I showed up in the morning with with Lunchbox MAGNUM de luxe.
and decided to ----get me a sample of real Glass Beads for home -----so I emptyed
my sugar container and filled it with # 6 beads.-------and forgot.
Next day at lunch I stirred and stirred and stirred to no avail. ------ shit it sure looks like sugar.
For you beginner blasters --read James Hansen really carefully ----or wind up like me with
lung problems.
I started in 1962 using "Lane Mountain" silica sand. and a bad mask..
Do it right and it is safe. ----------------BUT remember dust contains Cadmium and
lead and what not -----depending on what you blast. I am safe now I ran a BIG O
pipe way out in the forest ----that is where my dust goes. I use an Empire blasting
cabinet and the dustbag ---will never be used by me again. ----I removed bag and
ran the 4" ? pipe out through the wall.-----"How sweet it is".
Hagar.
