Thanks for all the advice. I wont be using a bead blasting cabinet I'll be using a blasting gun hooked up to an air compressor. I'm borrowing the air compressor from a friend so I'm not sure of the size/power of it but he assures me it will be work for blasting. I'll do a fair amount of practice on scrap pieces of steel I have and experiment with different air pressures to find what works best for the setup I'll have.
