Bill,
For blasting models, do you use a pencil type gun like a Paasche Air Eraser or something else? I've been thinking of setting up a blasting booth but I need to do some cleaning up to come up with a good spot. I know some people have built portable ones they take outside.

Metal cabinets this size were a lot more money. I made a few modifications namely lighting. There was 1 light bulb inside the booth that in truly 1 second flat of blasting gets completely covered with grit and the booth suffers a total solar eclipse. I made 2 lights that are at the en! ds and are completely external. There was an expanded metal sheet that covered the bottom. I cut it in half and mounted it as a shelf on the back wall. At least with the 400 grit the angle of repose kicks in all the time. I could have 20 pounds of grit in the bottom of the booth and nothing coming out because THAT small area of the pickup is empty. It is just a cone shaped hole of nothing! You are ***continuously*** spreading the grit around to keep the pickup feed full. I also filled the legs with expanding foam. They were filling up with grit anyway. If you look on CraigsList you will occasionally see some nice booths for sale. Harbor Freight did not have local stores when I bought my booth. I have a store about 45 minutes from me now. Since my booth is plastic it could b! e shipped UPS.
