@ Mohsin bhai
Salams! Hope all is well with you. It was nice to meet you a few days ago.
I took the sandblasting gun to Harry uncle and we proceeded to experiment with it. We found some fine ‘bajri’……the yellow river sand used for construction here in Karachi. Ive seen different kinds of sands being used in Peshawar and Islamabad so some folks here may not be familiar with what Im referring to.
Anyway. The results were as expected, our air compressor could not keep up with giving an adequate pressure. We tried the blasting on a rusted panel but there was hardly any change in its appearance.
So we do need a big compressor :(.
We were thinking on the lines of going to some service station and ‘borrowing’ the compressed air line to run our gun for testing. Of course we would need a very cooperative station attendant and would have to pay if we run it for more than a few minutes.
Next, I went to seaview to collect some sand from the shore :). We shall try that and report back. Maybe the finer particles would gain more speed to get us some results??
Wish us luck!
