Toby,
With all due respect, you warned about not blasting body panels, not
LP tanks, isn't that right? Maybe I missed an older post of yours. If
so, I apologize. I'm not intentionally dismissing anything you've
said or experienced. Just trying to learn.
Thanks for your input.
Later,
Jimbo / '76 Sovereign

I won't bug anyone about this again, but if you've got
aluminum tanks that you want polished, you are going
to put yourself in a world of distress blasting them
with *any* media.
Although, I respect the idea of wanting to try it for
yourself, I hate saying "I told you so," So, if this
message is duly noted on the record, I'll keep my
mouth shut.

p.s. if you *really* want a contradiction, here's some
links, but try not to cut a hole in the tank:

(search for blast media)
good luck - pictures when you're done? (c:
