Am I Crazy? Sandblaster Outside?

[Moparfiend]

So I am considering buying the HF sandblaster. I don’t have room in the garage and therefore would need to have this kept and used outside. We don’t get much rain and humidity is low here in AZ and I would cover it when not used. Is this crazy? Anyone else ever do this with success or failure?

Crazy? No.

Eventually there will be enough sand to call it your own personal beach if you have a pool, otherwise your own personal desert.

Mine had been outside for four years no trouble

Are you referring to an unmodified HF unit or your desire to hang out in a thong?

Can you use other media in those units? Better yet, is there one of those national franchised
mobile blasting companies in your area?
I've done the sandblaster thing outside in the past and you will not BELIEVE how much sand waste
you wind up with!

I had an issue with mine let a co worker borrow the unit he left it out side and maybe it's because I'm in hot muggy FL but everything gummed up and valves rusted inside . Out side looked brand new still when I got it back thought nothing of it went to use it a few weeks later and found this out .

Had to buy another pot

I have blasted for years and I can't recommend blasting in a thong. Flesh is fragile!

Are you saying by waste, escaping sand or spent sand (breaking up after use i.e. poor recycleability)?

 

[ruffcut]

I did my 63 fury outside and covered the ground with a tarp beforehand and was able to recycle the sand that way.

Yup I already posted my results from using my pressure washer sand blaster for large parts two weeks ago now! Worked great! Now thinking about all the small parts.
