I am so happy I saw this video! I thought i would need a heavier blaster. Looks like a small cabinet would take care of the dust. You solved my problem with refinishing fine carved wood boxes which gum up with chemical residue. I am so glad I saw this. Great demo!!!! I would suggest you scrub down wood with some acetone after blasting. Use steel wood, nitrile gloves, eye protection and work outdoors. Scrub, wipe with paper towels. The chemical gummy residue lifts off the wood, and its ready for sanding and staining. I have been refinishing antiques for years. Here are some tips: 1. Use a Dremel with abrasive wheels to sand down carvings. 2. Oil with Boiled Linseed Oil on darker woods as no staining is needed. Brings out the golden glow of the wood. Wipe off excess. Let dry 1-2 days. At this point, glue back any loose details with Tite Bond Wood Glue II. Glue will leave marks on wood, so do it after oiling not before. Oil must be dry for glue to work. 3. Dilute oil based clear satin Polyurethane with mineral spirits 50% and brush on. Wipe off excess. Dry. Repeat. Use air compressor to blow out any lumps of finish inside the carvings so you don't get drips. Now it can last forever. FYI - Baking soda does not damage wood or leave pit marks. It is safe for environment. It is not safe to inhale, so work outdoors AND always wear a mask + goggles. It is safe on skin.

I didnt personally re-use mine, but if i did, just a finer mesh strainer from the kitchen would be fine. I think you will just have to figure out the best setting for you after adjusting the air. It just takes a little playing around with it - its pretty basic.

Very useful video! Can you tell me what PSI you had the blaster at? I have a lot of wood paneling i want to try this on. Have you used this blaster on a lot of wood projects? I'm wondering how durable the blaster from harbor freight is.

I believe it was set at 90 Ive only used it for a couple things - unfortunately i havent been able to paint much these days. But i have heard such mixed reviews on these harbor freight ones - some love it, some hate it!

Did it leave ridges in the wood ? I’m assuming you had to sand smooth after?
@SweetPickins4 жыл бұрын
as long as you kept it moving it didnt leave any marks in the wood. This was also on oak though so it was pretty hard wood. If you used it on a softer wood, it might leave ridges. Ours was so smooth, it didnt need any sanding after

Question you can always lower the pressure to to soften the amount of contact to the surface so the word don't sell as much

so this seems to work great on stained wood but what about glazed/painted wood? Is it aggressive enough to strip latex off wood?
@SweetPickins3 жыл бұрын
I used it on a few painted things I had just to test it out and they all worked great

Hey there I bought an abrasive blaster and set it all up and tried using it but it won’t keep pulling the soda through do you think you may know why
@SweetPickins4 жыл бұрын
I think i would just try checking all your connections and making sure all is tight. And make sure you keep your air pressure at a steady 90 PSI to keep pulling the product through.

That version of "I think we're alone now" is an insult to Tommy James and the Shondells.
