A must for pool tile
Used to remove scale from ceramic and glass mosaic pool tile. Works great and gentle enough to not harm either surface

Nice consistent glass bead medium!
Used on aluminum motorcycle parts (wheel hubs, rocker covers), and got a nice satiny finish with no damage.

Works well
I needed something that was non-aggressive. I tried the black beauty ultra fine, as it was the only thing I could get local, but it was way too aggressive. This product gets rid of the rust, but keeps the finish smooth.

Questions & Answers
What happens if you exceed the 60 psi rating when blasting?
I just recently asked Eastwood tech support this same question and I was told that instead of the blast media bouncing back as it hits the surface of what's being blasted, it shatters and turns to a fine dust quickly destroying and wasting the blast media you spent money on. It's unlikely the higher pressure will do damage to what you're blasting with glass bead media. I initially didn't follow the instructions of 60 psi maximum on the regulator gauge with the gun triggered and went through a full bag quickly, turning it to a fine powder blasting in the range of 100-120 psi.

What is the best media to use in a B60 blast cabinet for prepping aluminum wheels for powder coating ?
For a softer metal like this, we typically recommend Ground Glass or Glass bead as other media would be too aggressive.

Do you recommend the 70/100 or 100/170 for Glass bead-blasting ordnance stainless steel to achieve a more non-reflective satin stainless look? I'm trying to minimize hand prints while also trying to avoid a rough-feeling finish. Many thanks!
The 70/100 would be a more aggressive media. The 100/170 would be the better choice between the two medias.

i need to remove a clear coat off of some aluminum fork lowers which will then be powder coated which media would work best for this job
The best media to use to remove clear on aluminum before powder coating would be glass bead.

Is this glass beads media comparable to white 220 grit?
This glass bead is 100-170 grit. It will be slightly more coarse than 220 grit.
