[AT] Sandblasting safety

[Dean VP]

Cecil:

I've tried to use the playground sand, just once.  I even run the sand
through a special screen too before it goes into the sand blaster. I had
nothing but trouble with the tip blocking up with this grade of sand. I have
never tried it again.  Just my personal experience, YMMV.

When in a bind, playground sand from Lowes works..   The Black Beauty is 
about $8 here it comes from PA.  I mix it with the 20/50 sand 1 to 5 for 
extra cutting.
