[@RobertDaveMyrland]

If you powder coat your parts, you don’t necessarily need a coarse finish. Powder will adhere to the material extremely well no matter polished or not, a long the surface is 100% clean. There is a powder from Clear Vision named Ultra Clear Vision and is transparent. If used, you newer will need to sandblast your aluminium parts again.

Thanks for the tips. Will find an old heater fan from a car and use it to suck the air out. I also watched the guy from Armoury Enterprises, and built mine from an old dishwasher. So far I'm £150 ish into it, and already started test blasting. Needs some better water control to stop my legs and feet from getting wet, but definitely heading in the right direction.

Also, is it possible to use Aluminium Oxide to strip a part of corrosion and paint, then smooth it with glass beads, or are the glass beads too gentle to make a dent in the surface?

Steve, Thank's for your reply, comments. I'm going to build one shortly, there were a few thing's I was a bit in the dark about but you have answered those questions, still got to get my head around the electrics, I like what you have done with those and will probably do a similar setup although I'll be learning on the job as I'm no electrician. I'm renovating an old XL 500S at the moment the vapour blaster will certainly come in handy for that, caught your video just in time as I'll be pulling the engine apart very shortly, got the 600 version to do once that's done.

[@philipmartin5858]

Hey Steve nice video mate, just a suggestion.... you could make a simple stand off the ground for when you change the tank, just wheel the tank up to your stand and lower it down, eliminating the lifting of the tanks.. nice work..

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Phil Sounds good ! After I finish the CX500 project I do want to revisit the Wet Blast cabinet The tank I have on now is way to big really after using the cabinet for a while now, you don't need a big tank I just selected that one because it was readily available So I will modify it to a smaller round tank. I do like the wheel in and lift up it seals off pretty good

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Ben Sorry for the late reply mate Yeah I made my own nozzle from Armoury Enterprises design Works great

Hi Steve. Awesome work. You've inspired me to make one myself. Any chance you could give us a look at the electrics to see how the pedal arrangement is hooked up?

Hi Steve, Fantastic video, well done! I've also been researching vapor blasting cabinets and so far, yours is the design at the top! I like your setup with foot switches and your electrical system is the most professional-looking I've seen. Do you have a build video and possibly a parts list that you would share? Thanks from Canada!

[@justinmacadam3924]

Steve, Brilliant video and build, does the pump sit directly in the box, what modifications were made to the base of the blast cabinet? I note you would prefer a round tub as opposed to an oblong one, what are the reasons for this? Would you prefer a spray bar or are you happy with the wiper's? I've been planning to build one of these for a while now an noticed on one design that they had fitted a marine extractor fan which made a huge difference for visibility. Best of luck for the future Justin

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Justin The only modification to a brand new blast cabinet is ; to seal it, to cut the bottom to suit the tank and fit better light, wiper The pump sits directly onto the tank base I have raised mine 50mm with some spacers on the bottom of the pump you can see that in the video Yes I am going to go with a circular tank because the pump flow will agitate the media better. In a square tank the media can get caught up in the corners. Also don't go for a big tank mine is too big get one around 30 Lt Yeah I'm happy with the light and the wiper and the ventilator. If you use a spray you will have to add water then it is going to overflow your tank

[@billmacfarlane4083]

Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any advice on keeping the lustre on the parts?

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Bill Once the Aluminium has been cleaned and polished I use "Autosol" metal polish to keep it shiny You can also spray the parts with 2K clear I think Honda does this to protect the aluminium

[@prawny12009]

Are these more efficient than a standard media blaster? Especially if used outside of a cabinet as a total loss on something big. Could you install a ball valve (toilet filler) to maintain the water level in the tank?

[@gertroewer152]

Fantastically informative video. Thanks heaps for that. My son and I have been wanting to do this for some time. What size is your cabinet? We would like to get a large cabinet that will accomodate most bike frames. May have to fabricate one.

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Gert I'm glad you liked the video Cabinet size - - The one I have, available Harbour Freight USA is 900mm X 600mm X 500mm you would not be able to fit a motorcycle frames in it I think you could squeeze a bike frame in. Last week I did my CX500 frame using a DIY portable sandblaster I made using garnet sand set up on the back lawn To be honest it didn't work that good and was messy so I took it to a sandblasting company he did all the bits for $120 The next thing to think about is what you want to blast, aluminium or steel wet blasting is good for non ferrous metals you can do steel but you will get flash rusting and you can add rust inhibitors to the water to stop that When I get time I would modify the cabinet in the video 1. Make the slurry tank a lot smaller and round 2. Make another lift device to save my back ! 3. Replace the pneumatic motorised valve with a different valve Hope this helps Coolhand99au

[@dense505crew]

Thanks for sharing all the great details. I am trying to work out pump and hose sizes. Can you tell me how long it takes to pump the 250ml sample or some other known volume just with the pump?

The pump that I used is listed in the description see link www.mydeal.com.au/1500w-submersible-water-pump-universal-fitting Hose size from the pump to the gun is 1/2 " Outlet from the pump is a 3/4" T reduced on one side to 1/2 to the gun the other side open for slurry circulation

I am going to reduce the size and shape of the tank to a circular tank this will also reduce the amount of media in the blaster and reduce the weight of the tank

Hi Steve, I really like this and thinking about making own. I have few questions for you; how often do you use this? Is the exhaust fan needed? What are the benefits of having it? Where did you get your pump and gun? And do you like them any suggestions on choosing those items? If this turns out well for me I will be using this a lot so would really like components to last awhile. Do not mind spending a bit but would also like to save money if possible. Any suggestions you have would be very helpful thanks.

[@Chicago06sti]

Once you raise the tank, how far does the bottom of the cabinet sit into the tank? Is it deep enough where it digs into the media to help seal the base? Does the bottom of your pump (the piece you made) just sit on top of the media? Very great job.

[@Coolhand99au]

Hi Chicago The cabinet would go into the plastic tank by around 75 mm or 3 inches. Really its only there to guide the slurry back into the tank. Doesn't need to be a tight seal My Tank is to big really. When I get time I am going to make a smaller round tank The pump would sit on the bottom of the tank. Once the pump starts and the slurry is flowing around the tank the pump would sink and sit on the bottom. I raised my pump inlet by 50 mm so that when the pump stops and the media settles the inlet of the pump wont get clogged with media

[@prawny12009]

Rather than having water flowing into the cabinet permanently under pressure, Could you just use the suction of the gun to draw water up only as needed? using the pump for circulation in the tank only. Or will it not be as effective?

[@peglegperformance9371]

Where did you get the casters and jack set up

Good demo video - thanks. Do you have an actual video on "how to build a wet blast cabinet"? I checked the other videos you mentioned but they don't cover it either. I'm quite interested in getting the components, assembling and the Aurdinho controls you've done are very interesting for foot control. How much was your total build cost? Where do you actually purchase these HAFCO cabinets? I would suggest you store the water and media tanks in shelving at the same height as the trolley, that way you aren't lifting heavy tanks (bad for the back). Thanks for sharing.

Great work on the Cabinet and Bikes, like a lot of others I'm in that boat too. I've just started project number 4, a T120RV Bonneville, to go with the CB750 Four, XS650 Bobber and a few others like a 1936 Triumph L2/1. I am just wondering if your extraction fan is water proof?

[@Coolhand99au]

Hahahahahaha I cant believe that you asked about the extraction fan Pete Half an hour ago I was just finishing off my latest upgrade (New Video of the upgrades will be up in the next day or two) of the Wet Blast cabinet I turned on the fan and it dropped out checked the fan out and yep I think water and media have worked their way into the motor. It was a marine fan with a certain amount of water proofing So I have ditched the extractor fan and the inside light and placed a more powerful light on the outside

[@petegrice6890]

@@Coolhand99au How about a different position e.g. out the side rather than out the back of the cabinet. That way it's not getting a direct hit with the waste air/vapour, maybe on the right hand side if you're right handed, although thats where the door is so it'll have to be the Left hand side or left hand back corner.... Just a thought.

@@petegrice6890 Good point Pete Josh from Armory Enterprises also suggested using a blower instead of a suction vent I will add one again later it does help clear things up

[@DavidM2002]

If you first blast with the aluminum oxide resulting in the matt finish, and then blast with the glass bead, do you think you might get some of the shine back ?

[@Coolhand99au]

David M Yep the glass bead blasting will peen the surface and add shine

[@northstar100]

Would a water bong work with your vent. Your vent just shoots out glass bead mist out getting everywhere? A shop vac and a bucket with some tubing I think will help

northstar100 Whatever floats your boat mate Bong On !

very nice build sir. im wondering if powder coating will works just fine after those wet blasting??

[@Coolhand99au]

Powder coating would work really well on a wet blasted surface My thought are that wet blasting is good on aluminium surfaces dry blasting is good for ferrous metals You can do steel but you will get flash rust and guys do add a rust inhibitor to the water when blasting ferrous metals

[@radityapadmanegara7715]

Could you enlighten me what kind of rust inhibitor that will help? Im planning to build wet blasting in near future, and i need to learn a lot.
