One question about the dry ice media...how do you get it thru the gun?....Is there a chipper that flakes the blocks of dry ice? Does it come in a powder form, and last can you use a regular sandblaster gun?  This sounds way to easy!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 10:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Sandblasting One of the nice things about dry ice blasting is that it causes a "thermal shock" which causes dissimilar materials to contract at different rates. Ergo paint falls off, rust falls off, etc.   Also you never need a cabinet with dry ice because you don't need to collect and recycle the blast medium. Just roll up the compressor (put in the ear plugs) and go. The only thing to clean up is whatever falls off the car.
