"What type of media or 'sand' should I use with this sandblaster? Can I use play sand from the hardware store?"

Avoid play/beach sand. For sandblasting, use media like aluminum oxide (rust), soda (delicate), coal abrasive (heavy-duty), or walnut shells (wood). Find these on Amazon by searching 'sandblasting media'.

"What size air compressor do I need? Will this work with my portable 2-gallon pancake compressor?"

"You need a 5+ gallon vertical tank compressor rated at 4+ CFM and 90-150 PSI. Portable pancake compressors under 5 gallons won't provide enough continuous airflow. A 1.5+ HP rating is recommended for consistent performance on any project size."

"Can I use this sandblaster to remove rust from car wheels and brake parts without damaging the metal?"

Absolutely! This sandblaster excels at automotive rust removal. Use aluminum oxide or coal abrasive for steel, or soda for alloy wheels. Adjustable flow removes all rust to bare metal while preventing damage.

"Is this powerful enough to strip paint from wood furniture, or will it damage the wood grain?"

Perfect for wood restoration. Use walnut shells or soda media for gentle paint stripping without damaging the grain. Start with low flow & increase gradually. Successfully refinish cabinet doors & antique furniture.

"Does this sandblaster come with everything I need, or do I have to buy additional parts separately?"

Kit includes: sandblaster gun, ceramic nozzle, 6ft hose, pick-up tube, coupler, & manual. Separately needed: air compressor (5+ gal, 4+ CFM), media, safety gear (gloves, respirator, glasses), & optional inline filter.
