My brother works for an industrial painting/sandblasting company that is
very safety minded. When I bought a sandblaster he gave me a lecture on
silicosis and some company literature he had. I bought a supplied air hood
and wouldn't even think about blasting without it. Cost me less than a new
pair of lungs, I'd wager.
