It's hard to give a first choice because iggy is a worthless piece of
**** who as per usual he have left out very important details such as:


How many plates need to be done per month? Are all the plates the same
size? If not, what is the largest size plate that will need to be
prepped. Does he have the space for dip tanks? Does he have a place
outside or a room to safely sand blast in? Does he have other
applications that would justify sand blasting. How big is his
compressor? Does he have a fresh air respirator?

Does he have a shop laborer who has time to run a sand blaster? Has he
called a 3M rep and asked them to stop by and make suggestions on
which product they recommend?


I have a hard time with your logic. *Iggy has not presented enough
information to make a first choice, yet you can make a last choice.


Based on Iggy's previous posts, I would expect that he is thinking in
terms of three of four in a month and getting them clean enough to be
part of a welding table. *And the size is what turns up so could be
from a couple of feet square to maybe as large as 4 by 10. *So perfect
is not needed. *Hardly worth setting up sand blaster and dip tanks
would just take a lot of room for not much use.


I have four plates right now and no more are forthcoming.

I do not personally expect anything useful out of debates with
Mr. 'banquer'.

For someone who buys, fixes and sells equipment, I would think a
portable pressurized sandblaster is pretty basic equipment to own:
