Be careful with the sand -- inhalation can lead to silicosis. Beads,
aluminum or similar media work well. Baking soda also works well for fine and delicate jobs.

I use a Blasting cabinet also. It is a whole new ball game. I am not an expert at it yet. But it does work with a whole lot less fuss and mess. Hold your blasting nozzle at a 45 degree angle to the surface to be cleaned of paint or corrosion. If the surface has oil or grease the blasting medium will not penetrate. I use common play sand or beads. I also have Aluminum oxide for a very finely finished surface. On a brass model with lots of unreinforced flat surfaces you can warp the metal. I haven't tried it on a plastic model yet, but if it bounces off that oil or grease I am sure it will bounce off that plastic an take the paint with it! Edwin C. Kirstatter.

Which ever you use in grit-blasting cars, it is best to wear a mask to prevent inhalation of whatever media you are using. A little precaution goes a long way.
