If its only a few bits and pieces have a look at wet blasting, its a syphon that takes in kiln dried sand and adds it to the pressure washer lance. Really effective and no dust to breathe, decant the sand into a clean and dry 20ltr container which will keep the sand dry and away you go.

I gave my mate a ton of grit to use with one of these kits, he said it was really slow and used loads of the grit to do one small panel. Couldn't reuse the grit again either. Did you find it quite slow Bob?

Its called sandblasting for a reason,Not wet blasting

Any sandblasting is slow without a big old diesel compressor.

I’ve got two 3hp compressors linked together, it’s ok but I wouldn’t want to do too much.

Yes but what type of pot/gun blaster are you using,The flow rate on 2 linked compressors will be the same as 1 because both rated at 3 hp so regulator will control the pressure. Only thing it will do is give a longer running time before motors kick in,Would need a bigger hp compressor for bigger CFM

That's a decent speed right enough ?. Were you blasting old paint off the door?

Yes looks a slightly more expensive 1 was it top chips??

Around the 150- 200 mark? 

The 1s at 40 quid just look like a paint gun really.

 

Don't mind spending £200 if it will definitely work, still intend to use grinders for flat surfaces etc

No looked yesterday and around the 70 ish mark, Link below and look at the reviews,It has 3 nozzles so work from the smallest up and see how your compressor runs with them,I just use the biggest as runs great but a smaller compressor may need a smaller nozzle,3 sizes included
