    OK...Technically that's not gay, though I'm sure there is a word for what it's called. But I'm going to have to search the Urban Dictionary site to find out what it is. :D

    Sorry, I didn't want too undermine your answer, but to share a simple solution that doesn't require any formulas.

    I used to race a MK1 Lotus Cortina that had no carpets or sound/heat insulation. [the heat was unbearable at the end of the race]
    It had plastic side windows, and the only ventilation was a 8" hole cut in one window [ for hand signals ]

    I won a few club races in that, in adverse weather purely because I had the advantage of visibility [ Race Cars fog up really BAD ]

    Another trick I've seen is to cut a potato in 1/2 and polish the windows, but I prefer the 2 in 1 shampoo in a bottle

    Try it! it works amazingly well, I'll never buy anti-fog again.

    Make sure you don't breathe the dust. Silicosis is some very bad stuff. If you can figure out a way to make an air fed respirator it will help save your health in the long run.

    As for being gay using it.. Only if you think its FABULOUS!

    one ole farts opinion anyway
    have fun

    If you love your sandblaster and it turns you on, that may make you a mechaphiliac. Like this dude. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/new...899/Man-admits-having-***-with-1000-cars.html

    Not necessarily gay (the dude in the story is only turned on by machines, not men or women), but imo probably even more disturbing then being a rump ranger. I swear there was and episode of 1000 ways to die involving a mechaphiliac. Wait it was manswers. Claim there are an estimated 14,000 mechaphiliacs in the u.s. Someone in love with a sanblaster probably likes it rough, ouch.

    I have to sandblast big city trucks at work often, with a pile of sheet blaster, in a room with hardly no lights work and freezing cold, cause no heat in there. Lets just say I absolutely hate sandblasting.

    I bought one of the pressure feed sandblaster from harbor freight a few years back for home. Only used a few times. Thing surely didn't love me. When I ***embled it and hooked it up for the first time, the water trap regulator exploded where the poor threads barely screw together as the tank built up some pressure. Had I been nearer to it when it happened, very likely would be a goner now. The blasting valve that comes with the thing is a real pile too. That deadly regulator is now in the trash where it belongs and one of my water traps and regulators that have worked with no problems for probably 20 years for painting now is on it.

    Thanks guys I love the hamb. Oh god I've said love twice in one day I MUST BE GAY! Not that there is anything wrong with that.
    One thing, the sand doesn't last too long in the hopper but not much problem.
    If you have a standard home compressor you'll have to wait for it to build pressure between blasts.
    Good idea about the trash bag to extend the sandblast box but it is still so restrictive.

    I got that same little blaster. I fill it with soda to clean old carbs before they go in the Chem-Dip. Works great, haven't run any other media thru it yet was gonna use it to blast the little areas (belt lines, hinge recesses ect) on my '40. Keith

    when i used to scuba dive we would spit in our masks and rub it around if we were diving in cold water to keep them from fogging.
     
  17. I have a small sandblaster and the only sand that will work in it is Silica sand. Beware,prolonged use can and will cause silicosis (black lung) the good news is that a paper dust mask will be fine to protect you.

    I just blasted a carb using sugar with one of those, worked great even with my little 12gal air compressor. Excepts for the hopper mine is all metal, sure surprised me, I though the handle would be plastic.

    I use a leetle blaster and a pressure pot I also had a double fogging problem as I wear gl***es. My solution cut a piece of heater hose put one end in your mouth other end in rear pants pocket. breathe through hose. You'll kill two birds you won't be breathing into mask you also won't be ****ing in the sand dust particles. just don't fart!
