I bought the Harbor Freight red benchtop blast cabinet for $49 at their
Friday sale. I set it up and tried it out, and it leaked glass beads all
over my garage floor. Really slippery! I need to seal all the seams, and
thought I would ask here before I did it.

Duct tape? Caulk? Any other ideas?

Thanx!

Do you have a shop vac hooked up to it? And is it running? I have a well
sealed cabinet, but if I forget to turn on the vacuum, all that air I'm
pushing in has to get out somewhere. Mine has two louvred ports to act
as intakes when the vacuum is running. But, without the vacuum they
become exit ports and the beads go out along with the air.

One day I got in a hurry and left the vacuum off for a long time. I
spent the rest of the afternoon caughing. Now I wear a dual filter mask
whenever I'm blasting. I think I'll hook the vacuum up with the light.
I've never inadvertently blasted with the light off.
