Every time I do it, Something goes wrong. First I bought fine sand and the nmachine could not handle it. Then I bought slag and it worked but it shot out too much at a time. Finally got it right and then ran out of it. Got more today and started ok. Then Moisture clogged the darn thing. I had to empty it and now have to wait for it to dry out. Another day wasted!

Grrrrrrrrrr.

Kirk;
As I told you so, you are doing things the hard way. Go back to the thread on the clubhouse phorum where we were discussing rust and paint stripping by electrolysis. All you need are some cheap household chemicals, scrap metal, a low voltage DC power supply, and some water, that's it. Unlike blasting you don't have to worry about running out of media to blast with, or it getting dull, in fact you can use it until the water and baking/washing solution fouls which takes a long time.

what is it that you don't get about Kirk? Do you really expect the guy with all the injuries (and those only the ones we know of) to NOT do things the hard way?
He is not looking for easy ways in this life.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
Already did,
I was blasting and the coal got under my bandage. I went to shower and had to rip off all the skin to get it out.
That didnt hurt............
Yes Mike, I showered,
Arran, I dont want to invest any more money in these so if this does not work I will just hand sand them from now on. I'm not afraid to go old school.
Coal? Why coal? The sand is supposed to be ... not to be coal. And in any case it was probably safer to leave it in, then to rip the skin off?
Dude, take a break, grow some skin, grow some ....brain no seriously, this self-mutilation got to stop, or I will start thinking there are other reasons for it.

What money, the last time I set up an electrolysis tank I used a five gallon bucket, a battery charger, some scrap wire from the basement, and some scrap metal from the back yard. You can probably find everything you need, if you don't already have it, next garbage day.

Or can it? If there is a remote possibility of an injury, I think Kirk will be interested.
Mike:
I received a mild shock once or twice by sticking my hand in the water, and touching both the cathode and and anode, whilst the power was hooked up. Maybe that give Kirk some interest?
Regards
Arran
You did that intentionally? Where was the anode and cathode? How did they end up next to water?
OK, the skeletons are stepping out of the closets now.
Confessions time!
Anyone else?
