Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of stripping down my 1972 911, it is almost at the the stripped shell stage. So i am now doing some research around the sand blasting vs soda vs dry ice and i came across crushed glass etc.....so a quick question has anyone ever used crushed glass as a blasting medium ? guess you could use the same blasting equipment as sand. I have read a few threads on blasting mediums from this forum, Does anyone have any thoughts or happy to add some input to my question or thoughts on this ? I value others opinions or experience who have been down this path before and there reasons for their choice of medium.

Below is a link i found that refers to crushed glass, I have no connection with this business, just doing some research to see whats out there.

http://www.bicarb.com.au/ have a quick read under the blasting tab second page, pasted their words below.

Crushed glass - Our media of choice. Available in a range of grit sizes, crushed glass is ideal for automotive blasting. The particles are relatively light weight compared to all other abrasive blast medias. It is also only slightly harder than panel steel on the MOHs scale of hardness (6.5 vs 6). Combind these 2 key properties and you have a blast media that does not harden panel steel like garnet, the fine particle size leaves a very mild profile and ultimately dramatically reduces the risk of panel distortion when compared to all other abrasive medias. The glass has quite sharp edges and can quickly remove rubbery coatings and underbody sealers.
The glass leaves no residue on the panels.

cheers
