Soda Blaster in Winter??

[jiall2]

Did anyone ever use a soda blaster when it is freezing out? THANKS

No, but I have sand blasted in the winter. Our blast cabinet at work is in an unheated building and so is the compressor that powers it. That machine will make water like crazy; and so, the sand will sometimes freeze and stick in the gun apparatus. We put a water separating, in-line filter in, but there are still problems. Also, the sand in the reservoir will stick together sometimes. It’s not good. They don’t want the equipment inside the 4 million dollar building, because of the dust.

Long live American manufacturing!
