air tool and supplies advice?

Unless you really enjoy getting friendly with the pushbroom whilst reclaiming your blasting media by hand!

But if it would keep sand out of your eyes and hair and such, I could see where that'd be a HUGE benefit.

We blasted the frame on my Dad's truck a few weekends ago. It was 100 degrees out, and we were wearing sweatshirts whilst blasting. With the heat and such, sweeping up sand to recycle was out of the question. Besides, alot of media will distintegrate, and isn't much good after 2 or more uses.

Also, while we are on the subject...

We used primarily black beauty, but my Dad also bought some experimental sand devloped by the French manufacturer Olimag. It was supposedly supposed to be more effective, and less dusty. It was neither, so I wouldn't recommend it.
