Media blasting with a mini airbrush
fischflo:
yeah guess this's the same GarageNightTV vid - 'venturi effekt' ^"^ i.e. clunky duster gun route
dp and chopper dude:
I got one of these a while back from Aldi:
I've never used the bugger but it might be a bit easier to use. You get different nozzles and a tub of media too. I got an Aldi compressor with a tank so it's not going all the time and peeing off the neighbours. They get them in Aldi quite regularly. Or there is this one on ebay:

Yeah i have seen them a few times in aldi and always toy with the idea of getting their kit but never do. I dont use air tools in work and a compressor would only get used for spraying lacquer which i rarely do so it never quite justifies the purchase.
I was considering a little airbrush type as i could make a little blast box out of a clear plastic storage container. It could save a few bob on media too as it should all be trapped in the box. ;)
I know media blasting can kick up a right mess and isnt great for the old lungs too if you are not carefull.

I think if you use it in an airgun it will just media blast the nozzle away

Tried the snap on soda blaster a while back Clint. Was real good but it gets EVERYWHERE & I mean EVERYWHERE !!!!!!!!!
had no paint left on the chainring & nice finish but would say ANY type of blasting with soda needs to be in a cabinet.......
Sure I've seen an electric one somewhere too :chin:
