[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2927, member: 82"] Ken You MUST be very carefull using silica sand!!!! You MUST use a venilated respirator as the silica dust is as bad as asbestos, you must use it in an area that the dust will not be enhaled by anyone. A normal respirator is not good enough to filter out the silica particles. Sorry, i can't stress the danger of using silica sand enough. As for getting the rotten stuff off, i know that all too well. With all the grinding and welding i have been doing i have to wash my hair twice before it even starts to feel clean. A sand blaster is gold for cleaning spark plugs, i do it all the time. I use ilmenite as a blasting media. I haven't looked around at different types of media that are available. I know glass beads will be too expensive for me to use once. I'd love to build a blasting cabinet, but no matter how big you make it, it will always be too small....... [/QUOTE]
