Why do they call it "Vapor" blasting when there is no "vapor" involved? it's just sand blasting using glass bead or aluminum oxide and adding a little water. What am I missing?

[@garagemcmatt]

Good question bro, I prefer calling it vapor blasting over vapor honing. I'm sure there is some technical description of it somewhere. All I know is that it is one of my most used on a weekly basis tools. I'll never not have one from now on. And I have a regular sand blaster too.

[@oluffriesthomsen7680]

@@31acruz You are missing the fact, that using water torgether with glass beads is that the water makes the beads work better. Still cleaning, but not ( opening ) the surface on aluminium, which destroys the surface.

[@paulbudford]

The results speak for themselves. Doing as many builds as you do. It makes sense to do as much coating and prep as you can.

[@garagemcmatt]

Yeah that stuff adds up

Thanks for the video very nice setup. I want to build my own one

Works pretty good bro. Definitely comes in handy

thats perfect dude , cant ask for better . it is as good as it can get . like you said " im a parts hoarder " . im bulding my 2nd 250r basically from all left over parts with the exception of a few things 🤣 . im same on space maybe less or better 🤔🤷‍♂🤣

[@garagemcmatt]

What parts are u missing to build the second one? Send me an email [e-mail] I probably have what your missing

@@garagemcmatt right on , thanks dude

[@Shadowz_660R]

Bro that works surprisingly well great job, I need to build one so I appreciate all the info bro. Just so you know for when you start cerakoteing you need to use 100grit aluminum oxide, that gives the perfect profile for the cerakote to adhere and fill in. Aluminum oxide is definitely expensive so my trick is to use fine coal slag from tractor supply to clean all the parts then I acatone all the parts and swap the media so your only using the AO to give the part the right etch and not to actually clean the parts. Makes the AO last significantly longer. Iv noticed the fine coal slag leaves a very similar etch on softer parts to the AO but cerakote recommends 100grit AO so that's what I use.

[@garagemcmatt]

I'm going to check out Cera coat on my next build I think. I'm have fun with powder coat still but I do plan on trying it out soon

The waste water is it going back into the water drum mix recycling or going out the drain?

[@garagemcmatt]

It goes out the bottom back into the bucket

[@KakyleNapo]

You need an air compressor?

[@garagemcmatt]

@@KakyleNapo it does what I need it to do. One day I'll upgrade but space is an issue

[@tjhemrick]

Nice. Don't worry about the comments from the unhappy. Things like Air Compressor etc. are used for other things too so not really an issue when it comes to cost. Way to fab one up DIY style. Which pump did you score from Scamazon? I'd like to compare it to the ones I was looking at.

[@garagemcmatt]

3300 gph on ebay I think it was like $80 of the top of my head. And yeah people like that I just block them and help them move on in life

[@RejectReality97]

So really your total cost to get the results you are getting is far more than 350. Got it. Clickbait garbage

[@garagemcmatt]

If you're going to build a vapor blasting cabinet, you should already have an air compressor. Go ahead and buy one for $4000.

[@garagemcmatt]

If your talking about sand blasting, you do not need to do that first. Just clean the part by hand or with a wire wheel.
