Indian Ocean Garnet Sands CO, located in Tuticorin, India produces one of the finest variety of abrasive sand in the world (ocean sand, washed and processed for different mesh sizes) - Yes, they do supply worldwide - Thanks for this wonderful video - BTW, what ship is this ?

In Norway we use Star grit for this stuff, an yes huge diesel compressors that push high cfm. No point in doing it with small compressors for this application. Crushed walnut shells ? I hope you are kidding, some yards in Norway even use steel grit for this stuff. Walnut, glass, soda and plastic is mostly for stuff that cant stand the heat and stretching of the metal like automotive restoration etc.

i think that practice makes perfect, but that is my opinion. let the damn guy learn on his own. it is more than likely the company providing the sand... NOT the guy blasting so why direct comments at him? if you want to change something find out who is running the operation and call or send a letter. this guy is being payed and is able to feed his family with what is provided him by his company. cheers! to the working man
