If you have a ...Dennis, you are a wise man indeed. If you have a place for the scrap, hold on to every bit until the project is done. It has never failed me!<br /><br />The trim rivets will be a topic I will cover in the next blog installment in some detail and there were definitely some tricks I had to devise to address that issue.<br /><br />Also, I am still using the medium grit sand from Home Depot or Lowes. It works extremely well and does a nice job on this kind of task. I would think it should do very well for your interior work as well. As much as I positively hate sand blasting, the effectiveness of the process is pretty undeniable. And the ever since I started using the Oneida Dust Deputy, I figure I recover better than 90% of the sand every time I blast.<br /><br />Thanks as always for your kind words! Looking forward to your next update!SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-51932190643010285402013-04-22T09:27:43.784-04:002013-04-22T09:27:43.784-04:00"Never throw anything away." That's..."Never throw anything away." That's the quote of the day. I have a large box with all the rusty metal I've cut out cuz you just never know when you'll need a reference. I'd be interested in how you put in all those trim rivets. Are you still using your Home Depot sand? I may be in for round 2 on sand blasting to speed up the interior clean up work. And I like your media collection device. I'll have to check into that. As usual Sven, your work is exemplary.deo1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637879831843277574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-91031790227205172132013-04-18T08:09:57.233-04:002013-04-18T08:09:57.233-04:00Booooooo, hissssssss!
