I HATE Sandblasting. HATE.....

Every time I do it, Something goes wrong. First I bought fine sand and the nmachine could not handle it. Then I bought slag and it worked but it shot out too much at a time. Finally got it right and then ran out of it. Got more today and started ok. Then Moisture clogged the darn thing. I had to empty it and now have to wait for it to dry out. Another day wasted!

Grrrrrrrrrr.
