Glass bead, probably no larger than 80 grit.

beads
Sir
Yes, a fine glass bead works great and I have also had a grit called, BLACK BEAUTY does a little more agressive job if you desire it. Harry B. |

Hoy,
What is your desired effect of beadblasting? Garnet will remove a lot of material in a hurry. AL/OX Aluminum Oxide. ? Glass bead ? Plastic bead will not dimensonally change the base metal, but will remove surface coatings. We also use water with our grit (vs air) for a fine finish; AKA HydroHoning. The coarseness of the grit will also determine removal potential and time. If you want a small amount of grit to try, PM me. The Kid |
