    Sandblasting with Glass Question

    Thanks for the heads up. I am looking to blast most of the old motor and have seen online the "Satin" finish not and nice as vapor but still much better that 45 yr old dirt and grime. I don't really want a polished finish. just cleaner and Aluminum finish. Do you think the 60-80 grit would...

    Wanted - Standard Tank

    Looking to buy a standard tank for my 74 TX650. It has a Special on it now that is pretty much ready for the metal recycling bin. Inside is very rough. I live in Kingston Ontario but I have a friend in Oswego NY so maybe the US shipping would not kill the deal:) Thanks af226 Brad
