Garnet would probably be a lot more aggressive than glass beads and good
for rusty stuff. It's commonly used as the "sand" in sandpaper. I
wouldn't use it on aluminum or anything soft, though.
I leave glass beads in my blasting cabinet, and save the rougher media
for the pot feeder to be used outside on larger and/or more rusty stuff.
