[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 14365, member: 82"] I'm using ilminite (spelling) basically black sand. Filling is a bit of a pain in the butt, i'm using a port on the top that is used for the fuel gauge. Its a square block held in place with 4 screws. I figure i won't be loading it up all that often so the minor inconvenience of removing and installing the 4 screws isn't THAT bad. The top side of the wheel took maybe 5 minutes? probably less. The paint on the hubs isn't that tough. Even the *good* paint still gets eaten up pretty easily. I really need more air, the 1/8” nozzle holds the pressure around 90 PSI but the spray is a little narrow. A larger nozzle would help cut the paint and rust much easier but you need to keep the pressure up. Light rust and paint disappears really fast, you just wave it over and its clean! I did pay a tarp down to catch a bit of the media, and it does work. Just sweep it up and run it through fly screen to get the chunks out. I may try and get a small video of it running, see how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
