Now that the blaster is operational I am starting to paint. Using silicon carbide to do the blasting.

Hey mate, love your work! Just curious, do you find silicon carbide blasting media to be a bit 'harsh'? My experience with it has been bad on alloy parts, causing erosion of the base metal, so I tend to use medium glass instead... also the silicon carbide seems to disintegrate and dissapear up my shop air vac system real quick. I would appreciate hearing your opinion on this.

Cheers! Max

@BigMaxTube Hi, I run the silicon carbide at about 90 psi and although it is faster and leaves a little rougher surface then glass I am having a rough time getting rusty cast iron or very hard steel that is rusty clean with the silicon carbide. I love the blast cabinet, (I will not be without one now) I like what you did with electrolysis on the gas tank, I might try that next. Your stuff is great!

How do you fancy having an enthusiastic englishman move into your workshop..?? LOL

You have a cracking looking place there, Im so envious. I haven't spoken to you in ages but things are still looking extremely good at your end.

All your engines look just brilliant. I can have my bags packed and be over in a jiffy... :-))

i use barbeque grill black paint it was in the cabinet and the straight pipe on my model L john deere was rusty when we first got it so i gave it a coat of high temp bbq grill paint and it worked out great!

i have a couple old wisconsins i want to restore, but most of my old briggs engines are pretty good looking in there original paint. my '41 wi looks awsome with the reminents of the original motomower decals!

great work you do on the mufflers!
