Crankpin

I did do some destruction testing to see what damaged I could inflict on an old body with some bits glued on. Some of them stayed on but others disappeared into the bulk pile of abrasive, retrieved later using a sieve. I did clean off the paint off of a plastic wagon and there wasn't any noticeable loss of detail. The cleaning works more by speed than pressure so it's not like breaking a foot step off when you picked up your latest creation, heavy handedly!!! HTH. Jeff

Hi, I've been using a shot blaster for a couple of rebuilds and I much prefer the dry technique to remove old paint. I bought a cabinet, which includes a gun, and already had a decent compressor, the smaller airbrush type can't shift enough air. I originally had the Badger abrasive gun but found the small air hose insufficient to pickup the abrasive. I used the badger grit, about 200 grit I think, but bought more from a seller online, which was a lot cheaper. It shifts everything I've used it on, including enamels and cellulose. The cabinet is situated in the garage but I still have to tape the lid as the stuff still gets out and will cover everything!!!! The 47xx body has just been cleaned of all paint, this was cellulose. Hope that helps. Jeff
