sandblast, again

 It's been raining here for most of two weeks.  I recently tried to
grit blast some pistons prior to adding a ceramic coating and finally
had to give up.  Even microwaving the grit for a while didn't seem to
help much, and the little Badger-style gun kept clogging up.  It looks
like it's time to start storing my grit in sealed containers with some
desiccant, and possibly to upgrade the cheesy little blasting gun.

 "Simple," I think.  "I'll just open one of my many catalogs and pick
out a small pressure blaster, since most of the people I've talked to
rave about how much better the pressure blasters are than the siphon
types."

 Not so simple.  About half the catalog entries don't tell whether the
gun is siphon or pressure type.  The other half appear to be entire
blasting rigs, which I don't need.  I just need the gun.  And a *little*
gun; my little cabinet (actually a homemade thingie derived from a clear
plastic Rubbermaid blanket storage box) doesn't have room for a full
size gun.

 Sooo... anyone know where I can pick up a small pressure blasting gun?
