?

  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".
