$15 - $18 for 100lbs of Black Beauty? I'll have to check that out :D So the saga ends. Replaced the bottom abrasive valve with one from the hardware store. Runs pretty well now. Wish I'd bought the 20 gallon one though :cry: Now I run through the sand pretty fast :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Got the new gun from Harbor Freight and it works much better. Got a lot done but ran into some clogging problems. I have 2 water separators, one on the compressor and one on the blaster tank. I get water out of the blaster but not much at all at the compressor. I might swap out the sand shut...

I bought mine because a few people recommended them. I'm not sure it it was here or another board. I'm surprised at the problems I'm having.

I don't understand the finger over the nozzle bit. Air pushes sand through the hose to the nozzle. The valve on the end, a deadman, acts the same as having your finger over the nozzle :?: :?: :?: :?:

Got one from Northern Tool. They all look about the same. Using 30 grit sand, not the play sand. The ceramic nozzle lasted about 2 minutes :shock: Still worked pretty well though until I released the deadman valve. Then the hose would fill up with sand and my next spray would be a 2 to 3...
