Default I Have Discovered "Paradise"

After managing 2 small facilities 1/2 mile away from the main campus, I went over there today to visit some old friends. My buddies in the model/machine shop took me in back to show me their new bead blaster!! WOW.. my eyes lite up with visions of car parts being blasted clean, whenever I want. "Of COARSE YOU CAN USE IT" they said, before I even asked. OH Yeah.. my Rally Wheels will be the first thing done, come the weekend. Lucky me!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Silvr77,
OK if I send some parts over for a clean? :jester
The skies the limit once you've got use of a large blasting cabinet :) I've even used mine to clean a saucepan up after one of my cooking disasters!

Sure Paul..send them over. I will be accepting Edelbrock Performer manifolds, RPM aluminum heads, comp cams 320@.050, and Dynomax headers from anyone who wants them cleaned up. UHHH... just not sure when they will be returned!! :jester :jester :jester

Who needs a blasting cabinet when you have your trusty wire brush and Restoleum paint. I really like having pits and old layers of paint on my parts :cry

Regards,

Jim

Hi Silvr,
Thanks for the offer :jester The only part in the list I've got is the manifold, but it's new & gleaming (phew, that was lucky!). But if it all gets to much & you need some help I'll happily clean up some of those alloy heads for you ;)

Totally off topic - do you get the magazine Back Street Heroes over there? My mates wife has just won a custom Harley from them!!!!!!

Tip 1 on blasting: if you ever get sprayed with the beads/grit have a shower afterwards - not a bath!!! I've scratched the bottom of our new bath (wondered why my butt was itching so much!) & now get continual earache about it :(
Tip 2: Don't let your friends know that you've got it. You'll never believe how many people will start turning up with all sorts of stuff!
:cheers:
