Re: Media blaster troubleshooting

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a small Harbor Freight sand blaster and it even clogs up. You can 
only use the sand one time as it is to dirty to re-use. I get my assistant, 
my wife, to shake the pot when the flow slows down.
I agree with Rich, suspect the media is dirty and a combination of moisture 
too..

My friend has a big one and he says it's very important to keep the
media clean. If you are cleaning greasy items they will cause the media
to bind together and clog. He has a screen system he uses constantly to
break it up and sift it clean.
