Ok going to be refinishing another pistol.this time a Sig P6 aluminum frame. I don't plan on using a blaster much and am on a fixed income hence my choice, I found a 20 oz hopper gravity feed spot blaster from Harbor freight for $15.00.
has anyone used this to blast a pistol? if so how did it work for you? If noone has used some feedback from others what you think on if it would do job? I'm not sure if it would work on a steel frame pistol since you need a high pressure, but since your only working with 5-10lbs pressure on a aluminum frame blasting to avoid removing anodization I think it should work right? what's everyone's thoughts?
