Default Re: Blasting Garnet - What Grade?

Blasted our 6mm plate hull with 30/60 80 grade garnet, would be a suitable for a little heavier steel, like a truck chassis if that's all you were using it for.

Brown aluminium oxide is a lighter grade for surface prep.

Boatyard supplier was Blastone in Silverwater don't know if they are still around.

Most boatyards have all gone to beadblasting lately.
