Sand blasting

Can I sandblast a yoyo with super fine sand and keep reusing the sand

Sand might be too coarse and end up taking off wayyy more metal than you want.

A blasting cabinet usually recycles the blasting media. If you’re not using a cabinet, probably not since there’s no good way to collect it. BTW - on a yoyo I’d use beads instead of sand.

I have a sandblaster what can I put in it so I can use it

With a cabinet

Use glass beads - a fine grit.

How much is that

I really don’t know. It’s been awhile since I worked w/a blaster and the company I worked for bought all the blasting media.

Will Home Depot carry it ???

Check their web site - search for “sand blast” on the site.

K thanks

Places like Harbor Freight, Northern Tool etc. sell bead media.

Be warned the grit sizes and quality of the media vary greatly.

I saw this and thought…

My dad bead blasted my Genesis. :stuck_out_tongue: It’s my beater. :stuck_out_tongue:

Interesting, how come? I’ve personally blasted two yoyos, and they both turned out fine.

Should I put up a bst looking for beater metals

Oh, it was insanely vibey before.
