[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3160369, member: 7157"] The problem is not so much the pressurized air - I do have a water separator inline, and it works fairly well. The issue is that the blast cabinet, in order to clear the air inside during operation, pulls air from outside in through a sponge filter on the back of the cabinet, and from there out the side to a vacuum canister. Otherwise, the air inside the cabinet would be so thick with airborne soda particles I couldn’t see the object being stripped. It’s this air being pulled in that causes the soda to clump up. I guess that, barring the construction of a small room in the shop with a deumidifier, I’ll have to stick with other media. Just tried crushed walnut media tonight, and it worked tolerably well.
