The documentation on blobs is frustratingly sparse!

I am trying to extract some columns from a table in in SQLite database and 
insert in same table in another SQLite database.

I can't figure out how to copy of Blob attribute.

Note that the column does not have Blob affinity (it has text affinity). 
But the data in the attributes are blobs.

I tried cast in the select:

    Sequel.cast(:sketchGradingPng,:blob).as(:sketchGradingPng),

But doesn't solve the problem. Well, it might solve part of the problem:

Without the cast I get:

ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

when reading the table. If I add the cast, that goes away.

(Note that :sketchGradingPng.cast(Blob) doesn't work. It says undefined 
symbol Blob.)

The problem seems to be in the insert. I get:

SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'�PNG

I tried .to_sequel_blob on the attribute, but it says to_sequel_blob is 
undefined.

What do I have to do to copy a blob attribute from one table to another?

And is there any comprehensive documentation on using Blobs in Sequel? 
There is precious little that I can find.
