Forgot about the forced induction.

I have a neat set up I'll have to take a pic of. It has a motor little
hopper that fits into the top of a cat litter container and has a motor to
shake it. I also picked up several mesh screens at a dollar store.
I don't use sand cause of the silicosis thing. I use coal slag or garnet.

Yeah it isn't meant to be sanded and it doesn't. It's tough.

Yup I know how it goes... Just keep doing what you're doing.

The 43430 works pretty good but it's an air hog. The 47016 is the
low tech version and sells for $15 on sale. I ended up using a binks M1G on
my elky with a slightly dented tip... I would like to scuff it up and
reshoot a better coat on it but.....
The big issue is getting enough air volume to the gun to work right.
Big hose and fittings.
