Turn your air pressure down, too - if the pressure is too high that shiznit'll go everywhere and hurt while doing it.
 


What kind of pressure do you run?

I was wondering the same thing. I figured this was a situation where more is better???

When I first tried sandblasting I had the pressure cranked up to like 120 PSI (the max the compressor would put out). Didn't bother reading the instructions, that said to turn the pressure down to somewhere around 40-50 PSI (I don't remember the exact number, as stated above the sandblaster burned in a fire three years ago). The instructions stated that sandblasters depend more on volume than pressure. Of course this was a cheapo Princess Auto blaster, so my experience is limited :D

Hey! that's what I have!  :beatyoass: :hick:

EDIT: OK, no instructions included but written on the back of the package is "Operating pressure: 90 PSI"

I have a Canadian Tire one, and I run it at about 90- 100psi.  works great.  I wear a full face resperator with a hooded sweater and I stay relatively clean with it.  Still have to shower after though.
