I am currently blasting with crushed glass 40/70 medium grit. I blast at about 50 psi using a pot blaster that holds a little more than 50 pounds of media and an Ingersol Rand compressor more than capable of keeping up with the blaster. My nozzle size is 3/16".
Over the past two days i have blasted 2 fenders, a dashboard and and about half of a door (all from a late 70s ford truck). The fenders had already been stripped for the most part with a DA so i just used the blaster to get the tight areas and some problem spots with surface rust.
I have used about 500 pounds (10 50# bags) to get to this point. Yes there was a bit of a learning curve and i did waste at least a bag or two just getting the valve positions worked out right. Is this "normal" amount of material? How much material are others using for say a fender or even a whole car (without reclamation)?
