Rich,
Yup!!!
I haven't mentioned a couple of things I do:
1. I put up a piece of rope across the corner of my fence then close
pin a large
plastic drop cloth to it. Then when I blast, I can recycle about 80%
of my media.
It's lasts a lot longer that way. There's a picture of the set up in
an article on
my Morgan Web page:
http://www.team.net/www/morgan/tech/blasting/mediablast.html
about 3/4 the way down the article.
2. I purchases some screen which I lay over the funnel. When I
collect my spent
media, I use a coffee can and dump it into a heavy duty 5 gal
bucket. Then when
it's time refill the pressure blaster, I place the screen over the
funnel and scoup
media from the bucket with the coffee can, and then pour it through the screen.
Thus cleaning the clumps, and trash out of the sand as I fill the blaster.
