How to check media ratio in your DIY Vapor Blasting Cabinet

20cfm air compressor strong enough should I full full pressure or some psi
Hi Armory enterprise will this style gun work on a sand blast cabinet ?
Yes it will. I have used them on multiple sandblasting cabinets. The flow is a lot better than the usual gun that comes in cheap cabinets with the trigger. Thanks for watching!
Nice work! Actually forgot about your channel since Sucktube doesn't send notifications anymore. Just happened to stumble onto one of your vids in the sidebar. Compressor looks great!
Three cheers! Sketchyness level 8/10, creativity level 100/100. Enclose the entire cabinet in a small shed, hook up the A/C compressor for comfortable blasting in summer heat.......LOL
Hi I have one of your 3d printed guns but having slow results in cleaning Is there an ideal slurry mix and air pressure the might help to improve? Thanks
@@stank9203 essentially the higher the media to water ratio the better. You really need a minimum of 10% media but ideally you want to be over 20% Improving the speed comes down to your air flow. I see you sent me an email so I will get a few more details off you to set your gun up to match your air supply. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Can you please tell what kind of 12v pump you are using in the small cabinet?
Hello josh
Hey! How are you? Been a while since I last saw a comment from you!
Hi Josh, you mention multiple times 'high' and 'low' pressure during the video - can you state what those levels mean in terms of PSI at the gun?
@@NickBucher-k2v Hi nick, I can't really give an accurate number at the gun as I have never measured there, but at the solenoid in the air control circuit - in this case: High pressure was 80psi, and low pressure was 35psi. Thanks for watching!
Do you sell the upgraded insert or perhaps a kit with all the part suitable for the upgrade? If so how much would this be?
Hi Bryan, I used to, but now I am tied up with the cabinet builds. Usually it ends up being cheaper and quicker to have a local machine shop copy the jet that came with it. Other than that, all you need is a stainless m6 grub screw and a 1/2" BSP brass hose barb to suit your hose size. Thanks for watching!
Obrigado Josh, boa explicação, eu ainda não consegui o acabamento com brilho, mais vou em frente
Thanks for watching Jonny, Feel free to send me an email. I will see if I can help get a glossy finish. josh@armouryenterprises.com
Looking good josh lad 👍
Thanks Buddy! I haven't had a lot of time for development but this was a leap forward!
Hello friend, cordial greetings, do you have the pump available?
Hi, Which pump are you looking for?
Very interested in these, already have the cabinet just need to do the conversion!
Many thanks for people like you, for posting this type of videos. Few years ago I had the same problem and mechanic told me that repair costs are 500euros aproxmatly… Found this kind of video, replaced PCV valve by myself and costs were 10euros.
Hi Josh, so would vapour blasting remove machining marks (from a milling machine) from aluminium or is it more for cleaning/removing corrosion? Regards Kevin(Taranaki)
Hi Kevin, Yes, vapour blasting can be used for removing tool marks from machined parts too. If you like, you are welcome to send me a test piece, and I will clean it up and send it back for you as a trial. josh@armouryenterprises.com Cheers Josh
Nice one buddy new place looks different 👍
Thanks mate! Yeah its pretty good. Lots more room!
I think you're using too much media slurry
Wow is this thing cool! really neat McGuyvering!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Why not wipe the slurry off your gloves! 🧤 Got a bunch of it on there. 😊
Hi Josh, do you have drawings for the stainless cabinet? I’ve set up a few a vapour blasting cabinets now using the red HAFCO cabinets but finding they are rusting out too quick. I plan to make my next one out of stainless like this one. Cheers
Hey mate, Yes I do. I don't usually make a habit of distributing them though. Send me an email at josh@armouryenterprises.com to discuss. Cheers Josh.
What will be the price point of the plastic cabinet?
Hi Chris, Plastic cabinets are $6000+gst with closed loop. Cheers Josh
Hey mate, I want to try a mix of glass bead and aluminium oxide to speed things along. Have you tried this, and if so, what mesh aluminium oxide do you use?
Hey Simon, I responded by email but figured I would answer here too for anyone else wondering. I use AC grade glass beads (250-150 Micron) and Brown AO (125 - 106 Micron) at about a 50/50 mix. I have brown AO because that was what was in stock, but it clouds up the water very quickly. White may be better in this regard. Cheers Josh
Thanks for the upload. Do you have a how to build by step by step vid? For those of us that are less than technical😢!
I dont see where the advantage is over just sand or beads. Without the added extra cost of the plumbing and electrical
Can you remember what compressor this was running on?
This was on an aluminium twin cylinder 3hp unit. Rated at 12.5cfm Cheers Josh
@@ArmouryEnterprises Do you think having a shorter airhose would be beneficial on smaller compressors?
It can help, but it depends. If you have a 10m long 1/4" hose and you cut it down to 1m, it will have a small improvement. But if you have a 10m long 1/2" line, the difference would be practically imperceptible.

Where can I buy the led lights do they com in the aluminum frame.
Hi Jerry, I make these up. I have printable files on my website for the brackets. It uses rigid 500mm 12v led strips, 2 500mm led extrusion lengths, factory style plugs to suit the standard power supply. You can get the parts from Ebay/Amazon/ Aliexpress. Cheers Josh
Donyou use a slurry pump or just Syphon??
These use a slurry pump. I have tried setups that are siphon only but they seem much slower. Cheers Josh
I just can't get this finish. I'm using your 3D printed gun and a 340W Ozito submersible pump. Do you think the pump might be under-powered?
New subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
@@ArmouryEnterprisesit's ok & that engine turn out great in your video brilliant job buddy
@@RetroYamaha Hey Buddy, new account? Thanks, yeah I was pretty happy how it all came out.
What volume of pump should I use for a cabinet , the size of the red one , behind you. My budget and need i think is closer to an old dish washer pump, someone is throwing out lol.
Depends on whether you plan to run it in the cabinet or in a reservoir underneath. If you are only able to get a small pump, you don't want to have it lift too high. I usually aim at around 9000 - 18000l/h. I would recommend looking for a second hand submersible pump. You can get them pretty cheaply. You can make dishwasher pumps work, but there are a couple of restraints. The flow rate is relatively low, and they are not submersible so plumbing can be a bit more complicated.
@@joshhubbard5026That was really kind of you to take the time to share your knowledge with me. Very Happy to subscribe. Have an awesome day.
Hello, just purchased your E book, thanks. just wondering where you got the parts for the window light frame? Looked very neat. thanks Carl.
Hi Carl, Sorry I missed this message. All the parts except the corners/mounts came from Aliexpress. The corners are 3d printed. Thanks! Josh
Ich grüße dich, das Ergebnis ist verblüffend für ein selbstgebauten Gerät, was für ein Medium hast du benutzt? Grüße aus Deutschland
Hello! And Thank you! The media used is glass bead - 250-150. Thank you for watching!
Danke für die Auskunft, hab ein schönen Sonntag noch!
@@giuseppefiorito5691 No problem! You too!

Why glass/window kit are you using ?. Can that be purchase of the shelf or something that custom made to suit your needs
What solenoid valve are you using on the air into the gun? Thanks 😀
Hi Stephen, It depends on the setup. Usually 1/2". The smaller setups use a water solenoid with built in check valve. The larger setups use a brass 220v solenoid with a relay circuit and 12v trigger circuit. Thanks for watching!
Is there any particular 12v valve that work best?
Looks like a different shop have you been tidying up 😂
Trying to! Still needs a lot of work. I picked the best angle to shoot the video 😄
Отличное видео. Спасибо
What is the material for vaporblasting so that it can shine? What is the soda backing used? Then how many bars is the air pressure?
This user's glass beads. 250-150 micron. I blast at 5.5bar to clean and 2.5-3bar to polish. Thanks for watching!
Very clever way to check, thank you for the tip. Something I have been struggling with the get right.
What was that top part you needed to fix? That part is making so much noise on mine now!
..generally how many hours can standard pumps work while pushing abrasives?
HI. Nice system! I don't know if you still use it after so many years. Perhaps such a pump resists less than an open one for dirty water. Do you have this experience or have you seen no difference?
Hi what do you use to stop finger marks after you have finished the job and its dry. Wayne.
Hi Wayne. Personally I just leave it. Vapour blasting with glass bead closes the surface of the material and dirt doesn't stick in the same way as it would after dry blasting. Some people will protect the surface additionally with products like ACF-50, or by applying a clear coat. Cheers Josh
Hi love the video, you mention in the video there are something to look for/avoid when choosing a pump for more commercial use. My computer is looking to start vapor blasting and we are trying to figure what components to use/buy. Main components we are struggling to figure out are gun and pump. Any information on how to go about choosing these items would be very helpful
Have you got a good earth? I'm a powder coater. If the powder isn't sticking make sure it's earthed and you've got enough powder coming out of the gun. Regards Dean
Hi Dean, Thanks for your message. Not at the now shop just yet, but at the old place there is a big copper ground rod. The newer gun I made works pretty well, its the old one I have issues with. Thanks for watching!
I have that same unit and it is a very good working media blaster, I guess it is about how it is setup and what media you use, but I would want the bigger units to do this modification, Thanks for the video,,
A press, 4 ton or better, A sturdy vise and a 24 inch pipe wrench to straighten the clamp. A propane torch to heat and loosen the rusted screw if pen. oil won't work. A 4 1/2 inch grinder and a flap disc, 120 grit. A loose wire cup wheel for the grinder. A knife edge file to clean up bad threads. No need for a blaster or any plating.
good to see u sirJOSH
