Doing a TR3 in the backyard cost $150.00 for sand $75.00 for compressor
rental and I wore out (completely) one nozzel on my sand pot (Maybe $5-$10 I
have never replaced it) and several face shields and created one hell of a
mess. Not recommeded. I would pay $400 - $600 if I had to do it again,
just to avoid the mess.
