  • Temporary, portable sand blasting 'cabinet'

    I can use the club's compressor, but I need to bring my bead-blaster
    to that location.

    Looking for schemes for erecting a temporary, portable sand blasting
    'cabinet'. Thinking of something large enough for a rudder or smaller
    if we can insert half of the work at a time.

    Thinking of a poly-sheet over a PVC frame about a foot high.

    Anyone done something similar? - MIke

    Mike , I have built one from plywood before, with a plexiglass window and heavy duty extra long rubber gloves for my hands. Plastic sheeting does not work well. The sand eventually blows holes through the plastic and even if you are very careful and dont get holes, the dust gets out of the smallest openings. If you did it outside and made it big enough, it could help contain the sand enough to collect it after blasting though. Metal cabinets are fairly cheap, about $150.00 at Harbor Freight. Whole tail parts wont fit in, so I cut a peice of ply to cover the door opening and then cut a slit in it for the part that sticks out and seal what little opening there is left with bunched up plastic and duct tape. Its a pain but it works Rob
