Wet sandblasting

   Any of you gents ever tried one of those sandblast kits that hook to a pressure washer? 
I see them anywhere from $ 25.00 to $400.00
Don’t know what’s what? 
Thinking about it for the frame on my truck project.

	Would NOT recommend, anything wet antagonizes the corrosion just attempted removed, that and wet materials will not just Blow Off with a Air gun when done.

	Maybe it's just me, but my experience with them is not good. The media has to be completely dry to siphon up the hose. It's hard (actually almost impossible) to keep the media dry when you are working with water at high pressure. It's not fun trying to clear a hose of wet media. Maybe if could have the media in a room above the room you are working in with a hole through the ceiling for the hose to go through, it might keep the media dry and could work. If you do use a water blaster and are successful, you need to use a blower to dry it and coat it with something immediately. If you wait a day, it will have rust starting on it.
