Blasting sucks! Every single compressor unit I do, gets blasted.

I've got a "beach" out back of my shop...All I need is an

umbrella and a cold drink! :D

wow... thats pretty fast... I've blasted some small parts, and it seems like it takes forever... Guess that why they make bigger tools :D

Eric.. I know what you mean about the beach.. I've had a few myself, luckily its been at my work and not at MY work :D
