You should be wearing a respirator (or at least a dust mask) when sand blasting. You may not realize it, but you're breathing small amounts of sand dust when doing this.
We didn’t think of that til after we were done. But thank you for the advice and we do recommend it as well.
yea the silica in the sand is really bad
The amount of sand you have coming out is amazing lol
Sometimes it was way more than we wanted. We had to mess with our controls a lot
Keep it up man. It's looking good
Thank you I appreciate it.
I have the same sandblasting can.. I had an issue with the rubber gasket pushing out on the top.. and used a worm clamp to hold it in..
Good job.. I used POR 15 as a first coat.. and will finish it with a chassis paint with automotive hardener added for a rock solid finish….
That was probably a good idea but we decided to try Eastwood’s stuff.
Add the Ameriblaster hose and nozzle setup. Major upgrade.
I will definitely look into that!!! Thank you.
Already posted but respirator is the best advice. Save your lungs. Also, as also posted, dial in your media flow. Play around with the air valve and media flow until you get it just right. When I get ready to dump the air out of the tank. I closed all valves and disconnect the air supply and then open the air inlet valve. A lot quicker than the relief valve.
100 percent. We learned a lot of things the hard way. We finally got respirators for the second set of blasting. And got it set pretty well. The sandblaster does a great job!
Looking great was thinking about sandblasting my 67 frame I’m about to start on I think I can have some one do it cheaper than I can buy sandblaster and sand But I know it’s the feeling of hey I done that also good luck with your build
Thank you and it was expensive but if you can recycle the sand it could be pretty cheap! But we also plan on doing more cars!
If y'all are struggling to get tje material off, try aiming at an angle instead of head on. Then pull insted of push if that makes any sense. I've recently been working at a powder coating company and have been learning a few tricks when it comes to sand blasting. Of course we have the bigger hoses with higher pressurs and dead triggers but still the same concept. Hope that helps!
Thank you!! When we do our next sandblasting project! We do need to upgrade air compressor and blasting stuff
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE also you can reuse the sand as long as you strain it and of course if you capture it in a corner or small shed
@@wholehand2635 yeah we wanted to but the first day it rained so it made all the dust clump and made everything difficult. But thank you so much for the tips!
Great video! When I did mine (My channel will have it soon) I used same blasting unit but with sodium bicarbonate...(baking soda) It works well but not as good as that. Still produced a good product. Be forewarned.....it kills grass! But it also goes away after a rain not like sand. I dont like the beach in my yard plus the silca it makes tears up your lungs. The media you are using works great in my blasting cabinet. Where did you get the bigger tips? mine is broken now..
The sand always funnels in the vessel when it get to a certain point that you have to shake it..
As for paint I use rustoeum rusty red primer cut it with acetone to run it thru a spray gun. As for paint= rustoeum semi gloss black....it holds up well and can be touched up. also I use it on all the suspension parts.
The tips on ours came from the Original kit from HF. Also ours made my grass grow. It’s like the best grass I got. Haga.
Adjust the valve at the bottom of the tank for sand flow. You have WAY to much sand coming out at a time! It takes a little playing around. Mine works best about 2/3 open.
Definitely we found that out later and it worked amazing. Thank you though we appreciate the advice!!
It looked like you had your media flow wide open and certain points but over all looks good
We found if we restrict the media it would be better shooting with more pressure!
I wanted to blast mine, but I can't really afford to upgrade my compressor, so I just wire wheeled it & rattle canned it for now...gonna go over it with rust encapsulator later & spray it with bed liner so it'll never rust again...or that's the idea anyways...& there's nothing wrong with a good, solid 305...had one in my El Camino when I was a teenager...it's a good streetable engine & made enough ponies to win quite a few races...I don't know why people don't like them, I like them just fine...great engines...yeah, 327, or 350 is bigger, but that doesn't mean a 305 is weak by any means...they will certainly surprise any doubters...
The wiring wheel works just as well. I needed a bigger compressor and wanted to do sandblasting anyway. It was so fun. And yeah the 305 is talked down a lot but it was fun building it!
Anyone who doesn't like a 305, has never bothered to build & run one...don't worry about the haters, when you wind up blowing their doors off, they'll want one...Lol!
@@Road_Rash haha exactly
How big is your compressor? How many cfms are you cutting at?
We just have an 80 gallon with a 3.7 HP putting about 13cfm.
I’m trying to sandblast But idk if the compressor i have is enough i have the same sandblaster the compressor i have is a 115 volt 15 amp 60 HZ 27 gallon 5hp
It has a 8.9 CFM @ 40 PSI and 6.5 CFM 90 PSI. It shoots but it doesn’t do anything just shoots sand. Please help would be greatful
It might be a little low to hit the right speed, but one thing that really helped us was to close the bottom of sandblaster a little to let out less sand vs air so the sand was coming out faster.
Thank good i went to college to do collision work, because you can have black lung diease after that sand blasting. Your only suppose to wear a fresh air helmet when sand blasting. Maybe you want to go get a check up.
I appreciate it. I have had one and no issues. We have already purchased gear for the next time. We didn’t realize it could be so bad.
Great video, what size compressor are you using, tnx
3.7 hp 60 gallon compressor. Worked pretty well. Could always use more haha
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE new follower, thank you for taking the time to respond 💪
@@rolandomota8140 no problem anytime. Glad to help and thank you
How many bags of media did it take to blast the whole frame?
I think it took almost 10 if I remember right. But also I lost a bag or two cause I wasted some of it. And then I didn’t recollect my media. If you do that it can be reused multiple times.
My tip gets clogged sometimes, what size is yours?
We go with the smaller tip.
I'm midway on Blasting my 77 Dodge truck frame, gee what fun... NOT! I found it much easier to use a Gantry and a Chain Hoist so I can elevate the frame and turn it at different angles to access those 'nooks and crannies'.
And YES, you really NEED a good 3M Respirator with Filters rated at P100.
We had fun doing it. But we agree on the mask! It was a little bit of a pain moving it around but we had to use what we had.
Great job, I was wondering if you called around and got any prices for someone to soda blast the cab and frame before you started this? I have heard that it really doesn't cost that much, but I have never called around to really get a quote.
We didn’t. We really wanted to try to everything we could in house.
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE oh i understand that.
@@bbay1977 but definitely probably would have come out to a similar if not cheaper price. If I was able to recycle the sand maybe not so but still. It was a lot of fun and really cool experience to do it myself.
I got quoted just from my back end, to sand blast and weld over here in Ohio over a grand..
Oh man that sounds super expensive.
what sort of air compressor and cfm has it got
It’s the Eastwood 60 gallon 3.7 HP air compressor with 13 cfm.
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE thank you for the reply
@@theancientones3755 No problem. If you can it might be better to go a little more cfm if you can afford it and a bigger tank because we had to stop every 30-40 minutes and wait a few to let it build pressure
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE thank you
yeh mine does 20cfm witg 150l tank and i got a very similar sand blaster that i havent used yet so i was using your results as a basis for what i should get
@@theancientones3755 oh yeah yours will scream. I’m jealous. One thing that helped is not going full open on the sand coming out the bottom.
Does Harbor Freight sell new lungs too? I checked in Home Depot and no luck. Meantime I bought me a $33 full mask from Amazon to do dust work.
We know, we didn't know at the time. We made mention in other videos about the need for the masks.
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE You must be tired of hearing this and you better be :) I've seen a couple of other youtubers being complacent doing sandblasting and finally I coulnd't help to chime in. I'm curious to know what's the CFM of your compressor, I'm looking to buy one and want to be in the ball park for small/medium jobs that wouldn't take for ever. T.Y.
@@khavafis we actually don’t mind it because they are all correct. Our compressor is about 13psi at its best. I wish I upgraded a little bit higher to 15-20 for a few extra hundred dollars just to have the extra power.
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE That's my dillema. An 80 gal unit is expensive and huge, a 60 gal one does a bit over 14 cfm. and it might be very slow to run a sandblaster. Thank you for your reply. Cheers.
@@khavafis No problem! Anytime Glad I could help a little!
Do you know what part number that nozzle is? I bought a used one and see harbor freight has several different options. Not sure which one is the correct nozzle.
I believe it would be the 3/32 nozzle 12557. It says it’s for the 90 lb but I believe it’s interchangeable. Btw great name. I love that movie.
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE thank you!! All harbor freight has is a one size fits all owners manual and it's not really clear. Good ole Monty Python. You could have the worst day and the emperor of Wome is always a good laugh. Shall I throw him to the ground again sir? 😆😆😆 Thanks again for the information 🙂
@@BiggusDickus2 Hahah No Problem!
@@RESTORATIONRESCUE got another question for you. Do you know how many bags of media you went through blasting the frame?
@@BiggusDickus2 I think it was about 10 if I remembered correctly. But also we didn’t reuse any.
how much it cost in black diamond $1500? lol
Not that much Haga. Probably only like 300.
