Try Home Depot, if there's one in your area. You can get 50 lbs. of
sandblast sand for three and a half bucks. If you're blasting outside
that's the stuff to use. For use in a blast cabinet, you might try TIP
(1-800-321-9260). Some of their prices (50 pounds): glass beads, $29;
walnut shells, $39; Silicon carbide, $69. All plus shipping.
